Boxing Day Miracle at Old Trafford
United trailed 2-0 in the first half, conceding two goals due to defensive mistakes with just a 5-minute gap between them.
The Red Devils entered the second half with high hopes. Rashford and Bruno assisted goals, Garnacho scored twice, and Rasmus Hojlund ended his Premier League goal drought with the winning goal.
Old Trafford erupted in joy—a Boxing Day gift to the Red Devils’ fan base. Fans and the Man Utd manager are confident in the momentum created by this game, hopeful that it marks a turning point for the team.
Man Utd Manager sees the New spark in attack
Man Utd manager Erik ten Hag suggests that Garnacho and Rashford may play together in attack. Garnacho impressed on the right side, while Rashford, though good, faced some illness. He said,
“Today we played Alejandro on the right side but can also be fluid and I know Rashford will also score from the right-hand side.
But I think the whole frontline played very good. They invested so much in the runs behind, the timings were so good and it was continuing a threat for the opponent.”
Ten Hag notes internal competition but sees flexibility in their positions, expecting Rashford to score from the right too.
The former Ajax manager anticipates a dynamic attacking partnership that can bring success to Manchester United.
Young Argentine rising for the Red Devils
Garnacho, 19, impressively started 13 consecutive games for the Red Devils, showcasing his consistency. The young Argentine switched to the right side for the first time in the first team, adapting well.
With five goals this season, he stands as United’s joint-second top scorer, matching last season’s tally. Rashford‘s return saw him assist Garnacho’s first goal, contributing to United’s comeback.
Despite Rashford’s goal drought, Ten Hag emphasizes Garnacho’s threat, key actions, assists, shots on target, and goals.
Internal competition exists, and the Man Utd manager looks to find the best way to fit them into the lineup.
