Rasmus Højlund's early double proved enough to secure Manchester United a thrilling 2-1 Premier League victory at Luton Town on Sunday and move them closer to the battle for the top four.
Danish striker Højlund capitalized on a defensive error to give United the lead after 37 seconds, then made it 2-0 with just seven minutes on the clock to put his side in control.

Relegation fighters Luton dusted themselves off, however, and responded impressively with a brave header from Carlton Morris halving the deficit in the 14th minute.
The only surprise in a very open match was that there were no more goals, with both teams creating good chances.
Sixth-placed United were guilty of wasting several chances in the second half as Luton's Ross Barkley headed against the crossbar in added time.
United's fourth consecutive league win gives them 44 points from 25 games, five points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa.
