Rasmus Hojlund was spotted arguing with a teammate after starring in Manchester United’s win in the Europa League
The Danish striker bagged a brace as a substitute to help his side complete a comeback win over Viktoria Plzeň
The 21-year-old had a chance to complete a hattrick late on, but he failed to get the ball, much to his frustration

Rasmus Hojlund came from the bench and scored twice to help Manchester United beat Viktoria Plzeň in the Europa League on Thursday night.

It was another lacklustre showing from Ruben Amorim’s side as they struggled to break down the Czech side.

Amorim was looking to bounce back after suffering back-to-back defeats in the Premier League. Andre Onana endured another torrid night after his attempt to play from the back was cut out before being turned in by Matej Vydra three minutes after the restart.

The Red Devils’ blushes were, however, spared by Hojlund, who scored in the 62nd and 88th minute to guarantee maximum points for Amorim.

Why was Hojlund angry at Amad Diallo?

The Dane striker could have bagged a hattrick in stoppage time but Amad Diallo failed to square the ball, much to his frustration.

There was a small incident after the final whistle, with Hojlund seemingly confronting his teammate for failing to pass the ball. Fans online jumped on the moment with varied takes.

@eeemz_em said,

“Hojlund still mad at Amad Diallo for not passing to him? Terrible guy scores and starts thinking he’s all that.”

Ennies Lobby said,

“How many attacks has Rasmus killed, though? It’s childish. We won the game. He scored because of Amad to begin with.”

While Dylan said,

“Rightfully so.. very poor decision-making from Amad for the goal and the chance after.”

SirLord said,

“Until these boys get to know when to pass and when to score, we are never competing for anything.”

What next for Manchester United?

Amorim will now train his focus on his first Manchester derby on Sunday before playing Tottenham next week in the Carabao Cup quarter-final.

Amorim’s warning to Rashford

TUKO.co.ke has also reported that Amorim fired a warning to Marcus Rashford after their loss to Nottingham Forest on December 7.

Rashford walked down straight the tunnel instead of applauding fans, a thing that ha sput him at crossroads with his new manager.

Chelsea are now mathematically out of the Premier League title race.

This follows their 3-0 drubbing in the hands of Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday night.

Liam Rosenior’s men came into the match with 48 points, looking to keep pace with the teams in front of them.

However, Beto opened the scoring for the hosts in the first half, before adding a second after the break.

Chelsea barely threatened Everton and looked flat for most of the game, before Iliman Ndiaye added a third.

The result means the Blues cannot match the 70 points that league leaders Arsenal currently have with seven matches left.

Champions Liverpool are also on the verge of being mathematically ruled out, as they have 49 points.

Drama as Senegal reportedly relocates AFCON trophy to military base after Confederation of African Football (CAF) viral decision.

‎It would be recalled that CAF stripped Senegal of their Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) title, awarding it to Morocco instead.

This decision came after Morocco appealed the result of the January 18 final, where Senegal won 1-0 in extra time.

‎ According to the CAF Appeal Board, Senegal had forfeited the match due to their players walking off the pitch in protest of a penalty awarded to Morocco, citing Articles 82 and 84 of the AFCON regulations.

The controversy surrounds the AFCON final, where Senegal’s players walked off the pitch in protest of a late penalty awarded to Morocco.

In a clip circulating on the microblogging platform, X (formerly Twitter), a young man with glasses is seen holding the AFCON trophy surrounded by military personnel.

The clip captures the military personnel’s excitement as they support the trophy, with an officer recording the moment.

In a recent development, Senegal has announced plans to appeal the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), with some officials and players expressing outrage and disappointment.
