In a thrilling match at Old Trafford, Manchester United got off to a flying start, with Hojlund heading in a goal from a Marcus Rashford cross just 17 minutes into the game. The contest saw Wilfried Zaha equalize shortly after his return to the Theatre of Dreams with a scrappy volley that beat Andre Onana.
Hojlund continued to impress, securing his second goal of the night to put United in the lead. However, Akturkoglu later leveled the score for the Turkish side in the 71st minute. A pivotal moment occurred when Andre Onana made a costly mistake, leading to Casemiro fouling Mauro Icardi in the box and receiving a second yellow card. Icardi missed the penalty but made amends moments later, securing a 3-2 win for Galatasaray.
Despite the defeat, Manchester United legend Paul Scholes had high praise for 20-year-old Hojlund, stating, “There’s a bit of Van Nistelrooy in there.” Scholes also noted that since his debut earlier this month, the Danish star has scored three goals in seven appearances, showcasing his promising talent. Ruud van Nistelrooy, a former United superstar, had a remarkable spell at the club from 2001 to 2006, making over 200 appearances and scoring 150 goals under Sir Alex Ferguson.
