Hojland And Garnacho On Target As Manchester United See Off West Ham

Sharing is caring

Rasmus Hojlund continued his goal scoring form as goals from him and Garnachi help Manchester United beat West Ham United 3-0 at Old Trafford

Hojland scored one his fourth in four games in the Premier League and Alejandro Garnacho scored twice as Manchester United recorded their biggest home league win of the season to move back into the top six

Hojlund celebrated his 21st birthday in perfect fashion, opening the floodgate if goals to set man utd on their way to victory.

Garnacho’s deflected effort doubled their advantage less than a minute after West Ham full-back Emerson wasted a glorious chance to equalise.

The Argentine added another near the end after Scott McTominay seized possession inside the West Ham half.

Remarkably, it was the first time Manchester United had won three successive games since October and only the second time they had managed it all season.

The Red Devils have scored 11 goals in three games in the past week, having netted just 10 times in their previous 10 matches.

Manchester United will mark 66 years since the Munich air disaster on 6 February.

As it was the nearest home game to that date, the customary service was held outside Old Trafford two hours before kick-off.

Ten Hag and Moyes laid wreaths before kick-off, with the respective sides coming out to the ‘Flowers of Manchester’ anthem, which pays tribute to the eight players, including England stars Duncan Edwards, Tommy Taylor and Roger Byrne, who were among the 23 passengers who died when the club’s flight back from a European Cup quarter-final in Belgrade crashed on take-off after a refuelling stop.

It is the first anniversary to pass since the death of Sir Bobby Charlton, who was the last surviving United player on that flight.
