Manchester United celebrated a resounding 3-0 victory over West Ham, with young talents Kobbie Mainoo, Alejandro Garnacho, and Rasmus Hojlund playing pivotal roles. Garnacho stole the show by scoring two goals in the second half, taking his season tally to seven. Hojlund continued his impressive form by finding the net for the fourth consecutive game, marking his fifth goal in the last six matches.
Mainoo showcased his brilliance earlier in the week with a stunning last-minute winner against Wolves. These three players are seen as the foundation for Manchester United’s future, as manager Erik ten Hag aims to build an exciting team around them.
Garnacho’s dazzling wing play has captured the hearts of the fans, drawing comparisons to his predecessors in a similar role. Despite early doubts, Hojlund has proven himself as a talented striker, and his birthday goal further solidified his position in the team. The victory against West Ham, who have had a strong run in the league, showcased Manchester United’s clinicality, although the opposition’s wayward finishing contributed to their defeat.
Andre Onana made crucial saves for United, demonstrating his abilities despite recent criticism. The match also saw Harry Maguire’s solid performance, but a near-blunder nearly allowed West Ham to equalize. United’s dominance was sealed when Garnacho scored his second goal, prompting celebrations as the players joined the fans on the advertising hoarding.
West Ham had a few missed opportunities, and United capitalized by scoring a third goal through Casemiro’s assist to Garnacho. The match concluded with a successful performance from United, showcasing their style and getting the job done.
