After defeats by Arsenal and Nottingham Forestwere compounded by sporting director Dan Ashworth’s shock exit last weekend, the Red Devils lifted the mood with a 2-1 Europa League comeback win at Viktoria Plzen.
Andre Onana‘s error resulted in former Burnley and Watford striker Matej Vydra putting the hosts ahead early in the second half, but United substitute Hojlund quickly levelled before lashing home two minutes from time to secure Ruben Amorim’s first away win as United boss.
But the two-goal match-winner’s overriding emotion at full-time was frustration having been denied the chance to complete a hat-trick in stoppage time when Diallo elected to go alone rather than cross.
On another break moments later Hojlund chose against passing to the forward, leading to an argument at the final whistle while the two teams were getting ready to make their way down the tunnel.
As Diallo went over to the Dane, Hojlund appeared to push his team-mate away, before ignoring him.
