Alejandro Garnacho, Rasmus Hojlund, and Kobbie Mainoo etched a memorable scene in the Premier League’s 23rd round on February 4, securing a notable victory against West Ham.

Alejandro Garnacho showcased his progress with two consecutive goals for Manchester United this season. In the match against West Ham, the young Argentine talent sparkled with a brace, contributing significantly to the “Red Devils'” 3-0 triumph.

Following his goals, Garnacho celebrated by running out of bounds and sitting on the advertising board. Many fans interpreted this as a response to Mohammed Kudus, who celebrated in a similar manner when scoring against Manchester United in the previous encounter. Rasmus Hojlund and Kobbie Mainoo joined in Garnacho’s celebration.

Some supporters also speculated that Garnacho and his teammates might be imitating Cristiano Ronaldo’s celebration style. Interestingly, a few days prior, Angel Di Maria had advised Garnacho to take inspiration from Lionel Messi for celebrations instead of Ronaldo.

Amid a period of subpar performances, Manchester United’s attack has displayed signs of improvement. Rasmus Hojlund has been a standout performer, notably on his 21st birthday, where he marked the occasion by scoring his fourth goal in the last four matches. The former Atalanta player’s contributions have been encouraging, with seven goal involvements in the last six matches (5 goals, 2 assists).

“A month ago, there was a lot of criticism directed at me and Garnacho. We always stay united and progress day by day. It’s evident,” expressed Hojlund. The impressive performances of these young stars have propelled Manchester United to the 6th position in the standings, albeit still 8 points behind the top 4.
