Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag believes Manchester United are ''back in the race" for a Champions League spot after the team defeated Luton Town to close up on the top-four race.
Ramsus Hojlund pulled a sensational individual display to put Manchester United two goals up in the first seven minutes.
The £70m signing from Atalanta got off the mark barely seconds into the game as he scored in the 1st minute to give United the lead.
Six minutes after his first goal, the 21-year-old recorded his brace, chesting an incredible goal pass Kaminski to make it 2-0. Luton clawed their way into the game through Charlton Morris, who scored in the 14th minute to halve the deficit.
Speaking after the game, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag said the club is back in the race for a Champions League spot as the team is building momentum.
“We are back in the race [for the top four],” Ten Hag told Sky Sports post-match.
“We are building momentum. Now we have to keep this going; we have to work on our game, and build pressure on [those above us].
“We have to go from game to game. Every game is a final to get closer and make more distance to the teams who are behind us.”
Manchester United moved within five points of the top-four after the win over Luton. They are 6th on the table with 44 points, 3 points behind Tottenham in 5th, and 5 points behind of Aston Villa in 4th place.
The Red Devils will host Fulham at Old Trafford in another Premier League cracker on Saturday, February 24 as they continue their push for a top-four finish.
The race for the top-four appears to be narrowing down to a trio of Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur, and Manchester United. Tottenham missed a chance to close up on Aston Villa after they settled for a shock 2-1 defeat to Wolves at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
They will hope to get back to winning ways when they take on Crystal Palace in their next game while Aston Villa take on Nottingham Forest.
