Manchester United pair Rasmus Hojlund and Patrick Dorgu led Denmark to a 6-0 win.

On loan striker Rasmus Hojlund produced one of the best games of his international career to lead Denmark to an easy win.

Hojlund scored two goals in the first half away against Belarus to help Denmark take a 4-0 lead by half-time.

The striker provided the assist for Manchester United wing-back Patrick Dorgu to score Denmark’s fourth goal.

Former United midfielder Christian Eriksen came off the bench at half-time, with Denmark going on to win 6-0.

Rasmus Hojlund is in dazzling form

Rasmus Hojlund has now scored 7 goals in his last 8 games for club and country. These include 3 goals for Denmark and 4 goals for Napoli.

Before the game, Denmark international boss Brian Riemer was asked whether Hojlund is better suited to the Premier League or Serie A.

He told Tipsbladet that the key was simply the service he was receiving, and it did not matter which league he was playing in.

Hojlund had lots of scoring opportunities against Belarus, scoring with two shots on target – but also spurning a chance of a hat-trick by sending three shots off target.

The striker played 77 minutes while Patrick Dorgu completed the full 90 minutes.
