Sunday 04 February 2024 16:45

Manchester United were in fine form as we beat West Ham United 3-0 in the Premier League at Old Trafford.

Rasmus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho (two) found the net on home turf, as we posted our first victory at the Theatre of Dreams in 2024.

Keeping a clean sheet in the process, there were plenty of standout performers for Erik ten Hag's side, who also made it three wins in seven days, following recent successes on the road, over Newport County and Wolves.

Our fan-voted poll garnered plenty of attention, but which player did you select as our Man of the Match?

Which Red was Man of the Match against West Ham?

Gaining 66 per cent of the vote, Garnacho comfortably won the award, after an emphatic display that saw him find the net twice in the second half.

A constant livewire throughout, Emerson Palmieri was presented with a tough afternoon at Old Trafford, as our no.17's superb pace and trickery made it a challenge for him to defend against.

His first goal set the tone for an impressive display during the second 45 minutes, smashing the ball past Lukasz Fabianski after taking a deflection off Nayef Aguerd.

A second soon followed as the Reds ramped up the pressure, seizing after we won the ball in the Hammers' half.

Scott McTominay played his pass at the perfect moment to set Garna free over on the right-hand side of the box, before he gently placed his second goal of the game beyond the reach of Fabianski.

Taking his tally to seven for the season already, it was another fine display for Alejandro in front of a buoyant home crowd.

Hojlund, celebrating his 21st birthday in the process, grabbed 11 per cent of the vote and was another who performed well against David Moyes' men.

The Dane scored for a fourth consecutive game in all competitions and was very much a key part of our plans in attack.

Lisandro Martinez and Diogo Dalot grabbed five per cent each in joint-third position, performing to help our clean sheet stay in tact.

But there was only one winner, so our congratulations go to Alejandro on a good day at the office all around!
