Hojlund looked to have equalised for United, giving them a way back into the game.
But his effort was ruled out by VAR after replays showed the ball had gone out of play beforehand.
Hojlund was also subbed off during the second half as United looked for a goal, leading to boos from the home crowd.
And on Sunday evening, the striker posted a cryptic photo on Instagram Stories.
Taken from the game, Hojlund could be seen sat on the floor with his hands in the air looking frustrated.
In a separate post though, he fired a defiant message.
The Dane said: “We will rise again. Thanks for the warm welcome Old Trafford.”
Reflecting on Hojlund’s full debut, boss Erik ten Hag said: “He is coming with a small issue and we have to be careful but the reception of the fans was great.
“His game was great and the fans embraced it. He was unlucky with the disallowed goal, it would have been a great afternoon for him.
“It was not the case but he will keep going. He is a strong character as we are as a team and we will push back.”
Talking about the result, Ten Hag added: “We are disappointed. That’s normal, especially when you have seen the game of such small margins.
“First-half they were on our side, we created a lot of chances but didn’t score.
“We then concede a goal and had a disallowed goal and you’re sat in a dressing room thinking how is this possible.
“It’s the way it was and the you have to deal with it.”
