Top six as Rasmus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho struck to show further signs of a bright future for the Red Devils in a 3-0 win over West Ham.
United’s blushes were saved by 18-year-old Kobbie Mainoo in a dramatic late 4-3 win over Wolves on Thursday and had two more young stars to thank for a more routine three points at Old Trafford.
Hojlund’s long wait to break his Premier League duck is now long forgotten as the Dane scored marked his 21st birthday by scoring in a fourth consecutive league game.
Garnacho then took centre stage as his deflected effort early in the second half doubled United’s lead before he rounded off the scoring six minutes from time.
Victory, though, came at a cost as Lisandro Martinez hobbled off with a potentially serious knee injury.
