Manchester United has demonstrated that they can win—though not easily—without Rasmus Hojlund.

Rasmus Hojlund missed the match against Fulham last weekend due to injury, although Manchester United’s previous loss was on the road at Nottingham Forest. The Dane also failed to win this particular game.

Thus, things weren’t looking good going into the City Ground match on Wednesday night. Hojlund was also sidelined because of an injury he had during practice the previous week.

Thankfully, Manchester United prevailed, scoring a late header from Casemiro to secure a 1-0 victory.

He was seen on TV applauding the victory and sharing it on social media.

With the caption “Vammmoooooss,” Hojlund posted a little video of teammate Casemiro celebrating the winning goal.
