RASMUS HOJLUND introduced a new celebration after finding the net for Manchester United against Bodo/Glimt.
The 21-year-old Danish forward scored two goals, leading the Red Devils to a 3-2 victory in the Europa League after coming back from a 2-1 deficit.

Hojlund scored his opening goal just before half-time with an impressive finish, placing his shot into the bottom corner.
The striker then rushed towards the fans, offering a thumbs up, which he later transformed into a thumbs down gesture.
The Man Utd player concluded his celebration with a throat-slitting motion.
This display left many supporters perplexed.
However, those who have watched the latest hit film “Gladiator II” likely recognized the reference.
Emperor Geta, portrayed by Joseph Quinn, uses this gesture to determine the fate of individuals in the arena.
When delivering a death sentence, he signals with a thumb down, indicating the person must be killed.
One fan responded to Hojlund’s celebration with: “Gladiator Hojlund, he’s such a vibe 😭😭🤣🤣.”

Another fan chimed in: “Whether you appreciate it or not👍👎aura.”
A third spectator stated: “The Danish blood ♥️.”
Could Amad Diallo be pivotal in transforming Ruben Amorim’s offense at Manchester United?
Meanwhile, a supporter joked: “I didn’t expect to find a Gladiator I’d fancy more than Paul Mescal, but Rasmus Hojlund has changed my mind 😍.”
Before his two-goal performance on Thursday night, Hojlund had only scored twice in 13 matches across all competitions.
Now, he is looking to secure a starting position against Everton this Sunday.
Marcus Rashford was the central figure in Man Utd’s attack during their 1-1 draw with Ipswich last Saturday.
