The Turkish side left Old Trafford with a 3-2 win, despite United twice being ahead at the Theatre of Dreams.
Those leads came via goals from Hojlund, the first of which was a close-range header from a Marcus Rashford cross.
Hojlund’s second was a sensational solo effort when he ran half the length of the field and clipped the ball over the goalkeeper.
But the defeat leaves United’s season in tatters, with the club losing six of their last ten matches.
And Hojlund says the side need to learn how to hold onto their winning advantage.
‘We need to remember we can’t [concede] goals right after we score,’ said Hojlund.
‘We [have] had a few games now where they just score, after we scored.
‘So we want to go back and analyse that tomorrow and talk about it in the group.
‘And of course it’s a tough period now, but we need to stick together and that’s the only way we can get out of this period.’
On a personal note, Hojlund was obviously delighted with his two goals.
The Dane says his first shows he can keep up with the pace of team-mate Rashford, and the second was a ‘signature’ goal.
‘It’s about getting in there, for me,’ said Hojlund.
‘I always try to get into the the dangerous positions.

‘I’ve been bought to be scoring goals and now I was happy that I got two more down today. But again if we talk about Marcus.
‘He [now] knows that I can keep up with his pace when we go on the counter, and we saw a glimpse of that today.
‘It was an incredible goal [the second]. I like to call that a signature Rasmus goal,you know, on the left side running a lot.’
