In a continuation of the impressive display seen in Thursday’s chaotic clash with Wolves, where 18-year-old Kobbie Mainoo sealed the win with a stoppage-time stunner, the youthful exuberance of the Red Devils once again proved decisive.<\/p>\n
Hojlund, a summer signing, showcased his prowess with a powerful strike \u2013 his fourth Premier League goal in as many games. The 19-year-old Garnacho followed suit, benefiting from a deflection off Nayef Aguerd before firing home the third goal against David Moyes’ Hammers.<\/p>\n
