(Video) Watch: Why Rasmus Hojlund dream goal on full Man Utd debut was brutally ruled out by VAR
Rasmus Hojlund thought he’d scored his first goal for Manchester United on his full debut for the club against Brighton – only to see it cruelly ruled out by VAR.
Hojlund, 20, joined United in a £72m move from Atalanta earlier this summer but was forced to bide his time to make his first appearance for the club after arriving injured.
He eventually made his debut against Arsenal prior to the international break, coming off the bench as United were beaten 3-1 at the Emirates.
Hojlund was handed his full debut on Saturday for the visit of Brighton to Old Trafford.
But things didn’t go to plan in the first half for Erik ten Hag’s side, who found themselves trailing when former United striker Danny Welbeck finished off a neat move around 20 minutes into the game.
United thought they had found an equaliser five minutes before the break when the impressive Marcus Rashford beat his man and reached the byline, before cutting the ball back for Hojlund to score from close range.
The Denmark international wheeled away in celebration before pumping his fists in the direction of the home fans. But his celebrations were then cut short by a VAR review.
Replays showed that the ball had just gone out of play before Rashford cut it back to the striker, with referee Jarred Gillett ruling the goal out to the delight of the visiting Brighton supporters.
Hojlund had a shout for a penalty turned down later in the half as the Seagulls held on to take the lead into the interval.

Cole Palmer scored in the 100th and 101st minute as Chelsea secured an epic and extraordinary 4-3 win against Manchester United.
Man Utd were leading in this game at 99 minutes and 17 seconds – the latest a side has ever led in a Premier League match they have gone on to lose. It is also the second time in less than a week that Man Utd have lost a lead in added time.
Erik ten Hag’s side now have just three days in which to pick themselves up from the shattering defeat before facing fierce rivals Liverpool on Super Sunday.

Video: Moment of magic from Martin Odegaard leads to Arsenal opener
Arsenal have opened the scoring in their huge Champions League match with FC Porto as the Gunners level the tie at 1-1.
Mikel Arteta’s team needed to score first having been 1-0 down from the first leg and a second would have made life very difficult for the North London club to progress.
That came just before halftime when some beautiful footwork from Martin Odegaard led to the Norweigan playing in Leandro Trossard.
The Belgian star remained composed and finished clinically as Arsenal will now turn up the heat in search of a second.

Manchester City have a taken the lead at Anfield from a brilliantly rehearsed corner.
Kevin de Bruyne whips in a low cross from the corner towards the front post, where Nathan Ake cleverly blocked Alexis Mac Allister to allow Stones to sneak into the six-yard box and slot it past Kelleher.
This early strike from the champions deals a significant blow to Liverpool, who will now have to come back from behind to grab anything from this match.
