Garnacho has fun with a double in Manchester United’s victory but worries Lisandro Martínez

Manchester United he beat West Ham 3-0 in a match corresponding to date 23 of the Premier League. Alejandro Garnacho He was the great figure of the Red Devils, scoring a double in the second half to end the match. The bad news was given Lisandro Martinezwho had to retire from the field due to an injury.

Garnacho scored the first of his own at the start of the second half. He received it on the right and hit it with his left foot, although with some luck: his very strong shot deflected off the body of a defender and dislocated the goalkeeper.

Towards the end of the match, a new attacking play found him again on the right but this time it was in the middle of a run and the player who admires Cristiano Ronaldo defined a cross, from the right, to the far post.

In the form of a small resurrection, Manchester United is once again exciting. After the miraculous victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers in stoppage time, the ‘Red Devils’ managed a much calmer match against West Ham United in which Rasmus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho, with a double, stood out.

The Dane, with a great goal that is his fifth goal in the last six games, and the Argentine, who broke a streak of five games without goals, with two goals and a celebration with a message to his rivals, led a United team that has won four of the last five games and who do not know defeat in 2024.

The team of Erik Ten Hag, despite its momentary ups and downs, is a more self-confident team in which the pieces are beginning to work. Above all, Hojlund, who after being mocked by the Premier for not scoring in his first fourteen games in the competition, has sharpened his aim.

The former Atalanta is sweet and showed it with a beautiful goal. Casemiro went onto the grass to steal a ball in three quarters, picked it up in the half-moon Hojlund, who cut in front of two defenders and nailed it into the bottom corner with his right hand. Great goal that the Dane celebrated using his leg as a guitar, confirming that the ‘rock and roll’ of his football is beginning to resonate. He has scored in the last four Premier games that he has scored.

As this is United, it wasn’t all going to be good news. Before the substitution of Raphael Varane, Harry Maguire, starter in the center of defense, made a mistake in a transfer and allowed Emerson Palmieri to steal the ball and go alone against André Onana. The Cameroonian, perfect in the match especially in a save against Lucas Paquetá, could only watch as Emerson, with two clear passing options, took the shot alone and was not even close to the goal. As often happens in these situations, Emerson’s punishment did not end with that ruling.

On the next play, Garnacho, inside the area, placed the ball on his left foot, took a shot that hit Nayef Aguerd and diverted its path to Fabianski and made it 2-0.

Perhaps excessive punishment for a West Ham that deserved more and was able to score on a counterattack in the second half, when Jarro Bowen was too slow and despite the advantage he had over the defense, he ended up hunted by Diogo Dalot. The rescue was expensive for United, who lost Lisandro Martínez due to an ugly knee injury in the continuation of the play. The Argentine, at least, came out under his own power.

With twenty minutes left, United had everything to score, especially through Marcus Rashford, who wanted to please Old Trafford after his escape to party last week. But the man in charge of the 3-0 was Garnacho againafter a robbery and assist from Scott McTominay, who left the ball inside the area for him to cross cold-bloodedly against Fabiasnki.

The Argentine also sent a message with his two goals. He sat on the billboard, remembering Mohamed KudusWest Ham forward, who celebrated in this way the goal he scored against them in the first leg at the London Stadium, when the ‘Hammers’ won 2-0.

With this victory, United approaches Europe; He is already sixth, with 38 points, six behind Tottenham Hotspur. West Ham stays seventh, with 36 points.
