Similar to the Arsenal striker's hearty shooting points, today's other England "red giants" Manchester United also showed good firepower, they scored three goals and kept a clean sheet in the game against West Ham, and accumulated points for themselves, to 6th place, 6 points away from the European places.
Obviously, Manchester United, who have scored seven goals in the last two rounds, has a great recovery, especially in terms of strikers, and the return of youngsters has given Ten Hag confidence again. This has not been done before, but confidence is more important to a shooter than anything else. For example, in the 23rd minute, after Manchester United encountered a back-to-back rollover, Hojlund got the ball, looked up at the goalkeeper position, he didn't stop, and after getting rid of it, he shot low, just past the position he designed, 1-0!
Before that, it is estimated that he will definitely not choose to play in this position, on the one hand, it is difficult to shoot in, and on the other hand, if he can't shoot, he will be swept away by the accusations and anger after the game, which is a disappointing situation for the shooter. However, the resurgence of recent games has helped him regain his form, and he who wants to shoot is still the same talented lad.
When they wanted to shoot, luck followed. In the 49th minute, Garnacho's inward shot had a broken line, which caught West Ham a little off guard, and the 2-0 score made West Ham, who was still trying to chase back in the second half, sink to the bottom all of a sudden, and lost the confidence to counterattack. After the goal, Garnacho came to the fan zone and celebrated with his teammates to see their relaxation. This is also the fundamental capital of Manchester United to be able to win.

In the 66th minute, when the physical transition, West Ham began to create opportunities to counter-attack. Bowen's huge chances were ruined by Diogo Dalot, who was frantically chasing back, and it was clear that after the strikers were trying to score, the passion of the defenders was naturally boosted.
It's up, that's what a team Manchester United fans know all too well should look like.
In the 85th minute, Garnacho scored twice and then came to the familiar sidelines, although the person who celebrated with him changed this time, but the confidence was still there, and the smiles of his teammates were there. It's a smile for a long time, and it's naturally a long-lost victory for Manchester United fans.
Of course, Onana's extreme save, Bruno's long-range shot, Maguire's key block, and McTominay's blocking duel are all back. It's something that has been hard to see for so long this season, and it's what Manchester United fans fantasize about in their minds, and it's what this team will look like.
After the game, Ten Hag, who was already "good at" the press conference, of course, blew it again. He does have some capital this time, but only by maintaining such opportunities and victories can everyone truly recognize him. A short-lived situation is not what Manchester United want, and there are many problems and difficulties that they have to solve.
Could this be a new start for the new Manchester United journey? We'll see.
