Garnacho and Manchester United come a long way

Author of a double, the young Argentinian Alejandro Garnacho had a lot to do with MU’s stunning success against Aston Villa (3-2).

Manchester United rises from its ashes. Trailing 2-0, the Red Devils managed to turn things around thanks to a burst of pride after returning from the locker room. A start personified by Alejandro Garnacho, author of a double. Rasmus Hojlund also chose the right day to plant his 1er goal in the Premier League.

Garnacho showed the way forward

On this Boxing Day, the Old Trafford faithful initially thought they were living a nightmare. The first quarter of the match had barely passed when the locals were already two goals behind. McGinn and Dendoncker took advantage of the gaps in the Mancunian defense to give their team a significant advantage.

At 0-2, MU could not fall lower. He then fought back, but initially appeared clumsy at the front. Only Alejandro Garnacho managed to create danger up front. Showing great combativeness, the young Argentinian sounded the revolt. He shook the nets one 1e times at 48e but this achievement was refused due to offside. Far from being discouraged, he did it again a quarter of an hour later, taking advantage of a serve from Marcus Rashford (71e). It was good this time.

Ten Hag can blow

This reduction in the score completely changed the appearance of the match. Man United have regained the confidence that was fleeing them. The team pushed and their efforts finally paid off. Garnacho, again, ensured the equalizer with a clear strike at the edge of the area (71e). Then at 82e, Rasmus Hojlund scored the 3-2 goal with a cross shot full of opportunism. The Dane put an end to his long drought in the English elite.

With this unexpected success, Man United carries out a great accounting operation since it returns to 6e rank and three points behind Man City (5e). A founding victory? We will have to wait before decreeing it. If things definitely turn to the right side, manager Erik Ten Hag will be able to remember that it was a 19-year-old who saved his day.
