Rasmus Hojlund has issued a rallying cry to his Manchester United team-mates to stick together and ride out the storm as their season went from bad to worse in defeat to Galatasaray.<\/p>\n
The \u00a372million summer signing struck twice on a breakout night for him in a Manchester United shirt.<\/p>\n
But it all proved in vain as Galatasaray struck three times to condemn Erik ten Hag\u2019s side to a sixth defeat from 10 games.<\/p>\n
\u2018At the moment we are not doing good enough,\u2019 Hojlund told MUTV in a damning verdict.<\/p>\n
\u2018We need to remember we can\u2019t give goals right after we score. We\u2019ve had a few games now where they just score after we score.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Rasmus Hojlund has issued a rallying cry to his team-mates after a fifth defeat in seven games<\/p>\n

‘We need to go back and analyse that tomorrow and talk about it in the group. It\u2019s a tough period now but we need to stick together and that\u2019s the only way we can get out of this.\u2019<\/p>\n
After defeat to Crystal Palace at the weekend condemned United to their worst start ever to a Premier League season, Ten Hag and his players desperately sought some respite.<\/p>\n
They thought they had that when Hojlund headed in the opener, teed up by Marcus Rashford, in the first half.<\/p>\n
He would add his second in front of the Stretford End with a brilliant breakaway finish, something he hopes will become a \u2018signature\u2019 of his for United fans to enjoy for years to come.<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019ve been brought to score goals and I\u2019m happy I got two more,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
\u2018But again, if we talk about Marcus (Rashford), as he said in an interview we try to talk to each other and he knew that I\u2019m going to be there now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘He knows I can keep up with his pace and we saw a glimpse of that today.\u2019<\/p>\n
On the second goal, he added: \u2018It was a good feeling.<\/p>\n
\u2018I got cheated a bit before with the offside but it was an incredible goal. I like to call that a signature Rasmus goal, on the left side, running a lot. It was nice.\u2019<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hojlund scored twice as United lost to the Turkish champions at Old Trafford\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Dane now has three goals in two Champions League appearances for United<\/p>\n
United now face two games against Hojlund\u2019s former club FC Copenhagen knowing they must win both to have any hopes of qualifying out of Group A.<\/p>\n
Hojlund will come up against his brothers in the double header and while there will be plenty of emotion in the Hojlund household for those clashes, winning is the only option for Rasmus and United.<\/p>\n
\u2018We need to get some points now if we want to play Champions League after the group stage,\u2019 he concluded.<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019m looking forward to playing against them because it\u2019s a former club, my brothers are playing there and I have a big heart for Copenhagen. Now I play for Manchester United and we need to get some points out of it.\u2019<\/p>\n
