Manchester United’s Danish duo Christian Eriksen and Rasmus Hojlund were both in action on Sunday evening, as Denmark beat Finland 1-0 in Euro 2024 qualifying thanks to Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s late strike.

Our no.14 was involved throughout the whole 90 minutes in Helsinki, with fellow United team-mate Hojlund introduced at the start of the second half.

Eriksen came close to opening the scoring after 19 minutes played at the Helsinki Olympic Stadium, with his rasping free-kick well saved by Finland goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky.

Operating out of his typically-creative number ten role for Kasper Hjulmand’s side, the Red and Whites saw plenty of the ball but had to be patient throughout the encounter.

United’s summer signing Hojlund did well during his 45-minute cameo and stretched Finland’s backline throughout, marking his 8th cap for his country with victory in Group H.

Another Red was in action earlier in the day when Jonny Evans, a defender, led his nation as captain in Astana, Kazakhstan, where Northern Ireland lost 1-0.

Evans played the full 90 minutes, much like Eriksen, and Maksim Samorodov’s goal in the first half was the game-winning goal.

That result follows on from the Green and White Army’s 4-2 defeat to Slovenia on Thursday, leaving them 5th in Group H after six games played.

The trio are all now set to return to Carrington later this week, with the focus quickly turning to United’s next Premier League outing against Brighton at Old Trafford on Saturday
