Alejandro Garnacho played a key role as Manchester United secured a 3-0 victory over Leicester City on Sunday night.
The win saw both Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund end their respective goal droughts.
Hojlund scored his first goal in 22 matches, finishing with his weaker foot.
That was before Garnacho struck in the second half.
Bruno Fernandes then sealed the win just before stoppage time with a stunning effort.

United’s victory lifted them to 13th in the Premier League, while Leicester City’s survival hopes took a huge hit under Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Garnacho, 20, has already had the privilege of playing alongside his footballing idols, having shared the pitch with Cristiano Ronaldo at United and Lionel Messi for Argentina.
Despite this, it’s clear that Ronaldo remains his biggest inspiration, with the young winger regularly modeling his game on the Portuguese legend.
The Argentine forward took another step towards following in Ronaldo’s footsteps at Old Trafford with his goal against Leicester.
His strike meant that he has now matched a significant Premier League record previously set by Ronaldo before turning 21.
What next for Alejandro Garnacho?
With nine league games left this season, Garnacho still has time to go one better before the 2024/25 campaign comes to an end.
Meanwhile, he will not be part of the March international break, having been cut from Lionel Scaloni’s latest Argentina squad.
This gives Garnacho a crucial two-week break before Manchester United return to action in April.
United’s next fixture is a trip to Nottingham Forest, which will be followed by a massive Manchester derby at Old Trafford.
With form returning, Garnacho now has the perfect opportunity to surpass Ronaldo’s tally before the season concludes.
