Manchester United's supporters were heard singing about youngster Alejandro Garnacho to the tune of 'Viva Ronaldo' during the second half of Tuesday night's 3-0 Premier League win over Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford.
Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial both scored in the first half and substitute Fred struck late on to fire United to a fourth successive win in all competitions, lifting them to within one point of the Premier League's coveted top-four places in the process. They are also now just three points behind cross-city rivals Manchester City.
It was a thoroughly professional and mostly dominant performance from Erik ten Hag's side, meaning they will head into their concluding fixture of 2022 against Wolves on New Year's Eve with a spring in their step. Such was the pattern and nature of the game, Ten Hag was confident enough to make a flurry of changes in the second half, including the decision to bring on Garnacho.
