Ten Hag: Young forwards have what they needed

Erik ten Hag says he always had the confidence that Manchester United’s young forwards would start to become more consistent in front of goal.

Rasmus Hojlund, who turned 21 at the weekend, is currently on a run of scoring in four straight Premier League games and is now into double figures in his first campaign in England.

Alejandro Garnacho, still a teenager until July, has already beaten his goals total for last season, netting seven, compared to his five in 2022/23, including vital braces in Old Trafford victories over Sunday’s opponents, Aston Villa, and West Ham United.
