MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) -Rasmus Hojlund's first Premier League goal secured a 3-2 win for Manchester United over Aston Villa after Alejandro Garnacho had scored a brace to claw their way back from two goals down in a breathless encounter on Tuesday.

"Keep believing. I think our fans they deserved it. They are always behind us and we've had so many setbacks," United manager Erik ten Hag told the BBC. "So I'm really pleased from the performance of this team. What kind of team can handle and deal with the amount of setbacks we have had?"
