Two goals from Alejandro Garnacho helped Manchester United to a 3-0 win over West Ham at Old Trafford on Sunday and move them up to sixth in the Premier League table.
Rasmus Hojlund’s fierce shot gave Erik ten Hag’s team the lead in the first half, on the occasion of the striker’s 21st birthday, before two second-half strikes by Garnacho took the game away from West Ham.
West Ham had 20 shots and might have equalised just before Garnacho’s first had Emerson Palmieri capitalised on an error by Harry Maguire on the England defender’s return to the team. But David Moyes’ men were not clinical and their opponents were.

The result sees Manchester United leapfrog West Ham into sixth spot and build on the momentum of their late winner at Wolves on Thursday evening.
Manchester United visit Aston Villa in the Premier League next Sunday, while West Ham host Arsenal on the same day.
