Harry Styles provided a sprinkle of stardust in the Kenilworth Road directors' box but Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag was left celebrating his own latest headline act in Rasmus Hojlund.
Styles, a United supporter and now a solo superstar after his spectacular successes with One Direction, played the role of adoring fan as Hojlund showed he might just be the real deal by scoring for the sixth successive Premier League game in this hard-fought 2-1 win at Luton Town.
Heads and phone camera flashlights may have turned in Styles' direction as he sat locked in conversation with Luton's battle-hardened chief recruitment officer Mick Harford before the game but it was Hojlund who took centre stage, earning the acclaim of the global idol as he applauded the 21-year-old Dane's performance.
