Two Manchester United forwards have sent upbeat messages to supporters ahead of this weekend’s match with Luton.

Rasmus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho were part of the attack which cut Copenhagen’s defence apart in the early part of Wednesday’s Champions League game.

But after the momentum was ruined by a red card to Manchester United, the team went onto crash from 2-0 up to 4-3 down.

The result certainly displayed a lack of resilience on United’s part, and the players must all pick themselves up.

Garnacho and Hojlund respond

Alejandro Garnacho looked crestfallen at the final whistle and had to be lifted up onto his feet by club captain Bruno Fernandes.

The teenager looked shattered by United’s late defeat, but the young forward does not want to stay down for too long. He is eager to put it right.

Garnacho made reference to Manchester United’s upcoming home game with Luton Town this coming Saturday.

He wrote on Instagram stories: “We ALL stay together. Go again Saturday.”

It is good to hear positive vibes from the youngster, and his words were echoed by striker Rasmus Hojlund.

The Dane wrote on Instagram stories “Heads up Reds. We go again on Saturday.”

Hojlund confidence can make a difference

Rasmus Hojlund is the Champions League’s leading scorer after his brace against Copenhagen took his tally up to five goals so far.

In the Premier League he is yet to score, but it is only a matter of time, and the game in midweek will have given his confidence a boost.

This weekend at home to Luton, Hojlund will be looking to get off the mark in English football. It will be weight off his shoulders if he does get on the scoresheet.
