Alejandro Garnacho was delighted after scoring twice in Man Utd's 3-2 win over Aston Villa on Boxing Day. The Red Devils had looked set for another disappointing result when they went 2-0 down at Old Trafford, but Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund helped to turn the match around with a brilliant second-half comeback.
The attacking players of Man Utd have been criticised recently due to a lack of goals, and Garnacho was quick to respond to these critics. "I'm very happy Rasmus has got his first goal," he told Amazon Prime. "Too many people talk about the strikers at United not scoring goals, but today you saw Marcus Rashford with an assist and we [Garnacho and Hojlund] scored, so we are very happy. It is one of the best days of my life."
Hojlund echoed Garnacho's sentiment, saying he felt like the 'happiest man alive' after finally registering his first Premier League goal. "It's been a while but yeah I am the happiest man alive right now," he said. "We believe until the end and we showed a lot of character again today. I've scored a couple in the Champions League but it's been a while in the Premier League. Hopefully I can build on it. I am happy for the three of us, the attackers, because today we showed a lot of character."
The win has been a much-needed boost for Man Utd, and the attacking players will be hoping to use this victory as a platform to build on in the coming weeks and months.
