Manchester United vs West Ham LIVE: Premier League score and result after Alejandro Garnacho double

Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho netted twice after Rasmus Hojlund scored on his 21st birthday as the Old Trafford side beat West Ham United 3-0 to climb above the visitors into sixth place in the Premier League on Sunday.

On the heels of a 4-3 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Thursday, Erik ten Hag’s team now have 38 points after 23 games, eight adrift of fourth spot. The Hammers are seventh with 36.

Hojlund scored in the 23rd minute when Casemiro prodded the ball forward after West Ham failed to clear a high ball. The Dane knocked the ball past a couple of defenders before firing home from the centre of the box into the bottom corner.

Hojlund, who did not score his first league goal until Dec. 26, became the youngest player in the Old Trafford team’s history to score in four consecutive Premier League appearances.

Garnacho doubled the lead in the 49th after his shot from the corner of the box took a big deflection to send substitute goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski the wrong way.

The Argentine netted his second in the 84th after Kalvin Phillips lost the ball and Scott McTominay pounced, finding Garnacho in the box.

16:04

United run out comfortable 3-0 victors over West Ham thanks to a magnificent Hojlund strike, as well as a Garnacho double. In a first half that West Ham dominated, Hojlund opened the scoring as he shifted onto his right foot before rifling into the back of the net. Despite the half-time scoreline, the Hammers' first-half showing had them believing they could find a way back into the game after the interval. However, after Emerson should have scored at one end, Garnacho ruthlessly made him pay by dribbling past the West Ham full-back and firing home with the help of a deflection. It was Garnacho again who ended any hopes of a comeback, McTominay taking the ball off a careless Phillips before laying it to his right for the young winger to finish. The three points take United above West Ham and Brighton into sixth, while Moyes' men drop to seventh having seen their winless run extended to six in all competitions. Ten Hag's side will bid to put more pressure on the Champions League spots when they travel to take on fellow European challengers Aston Villa next Sunday, while West Ham will host Arsenal the same day. That is all we have for you from Old Trafford, so thanks for your company and goodbye!

McTominay tries to get his name on the scoresheet as he rifles towards goal from outside the box, but while his effort momentarily looks threatening, the ball flies past the left post.

United are keeping the ball well as they look to see out the remaining minutes with their clean sheet intact. West Ham look a beaten side now.

There will be six minutes of added time at the end of this game, though it already feels over.

The game is surely over now, with West Ham's solid first-half showing ultimately counting for nothing. They have been ruthlessly made to pay for their profligacy.

Zouma keeps his side in the game with a crucial intervention, nudging behind as a loose ball fell in the box with Fernandes waiting to pounce.

15:41

Bowen has scored seven away goals for West Ham in the Premier League this season, with Mike Small in 1991-92 (nine) the last player to score more on the road in a top-flight campaign for the Hammers.

Manchester United vs West Ham United

15:38

A Ward-Prowse corner is nodded out to Cornet, who fires back into the danger area. However, Zouma can only turn around the post. The visitors have looked far less threatening since Garnacho doubled United's lead.

Manchester United vs West Ham United

15:37

Fifteen minutes to play in Manchester, and West Ham are looking a little lost for ideas at the moment on how to find a way back into the contest. They will be left to rue their missed opportunities if they go on to lose this game.

WHAT A BLOCK!!! A delightful pass over the top from Alvarez sees Maguire misjudge the flight of the ball. Bowen takes it down brilliantly and bears down on goal, but he takes too much time to get a shot off, allowing Dalot to get back in the nick of time to make a vital intervention.

Despite looking troubled, Martinez is going to try and battle on. Ten Hag will not want to take too many risks, though, with such an important player.

15:26

Martinez goes down and immediately clutches at his right knee. This does not look good for the Argentina international, who has already missed a lot of this season through injury.

15:24

Mainoo makes way for McTominay after another impressive showing from the youngster.

Manchester United vs West Ham United

15:24

West Ham have earned 17 points from their 11 away league games so far this season (W5 D2 L4), already five more than they earned on the road in the whole of last season (W3 D3 L13).

Manchester United vs West Ham United

15:23

Half an hour to play at Old Trafford, and for all of West Ham's endeavour, they are yet to find a way through the United defence, and particularly Onana.

15:19

Garnacho has scored his sixth goal of the season in all competitions (31 appearances), surpassing his tally of last term (five in 34).

Manchester United vs West Ham United

15:17

Alvarez evades a number of challenges before playing it to Ward-Prowse, who then feeds Emerson. However, the swift move ends with Emerson looping a tame shot into the hands of Onana.

15:15

Dalot sets his sights on the top corner from range, but while his long-range effort is decent, Fabianski watches it go high and wide of his goal.

15:13

Garnacho has scored three goals in his last three Premier League appearances at Old Trafford - he only had one in his first 20 before this.

Manchester United vs West Ham United

15:12

The hosts look to add a quick third as Rashford weaves through the West Ham defence before firing towards goal, though the winger's effort flies wide of the target. Ten Hag would love another goal to surely put the game to bed.

There's a nervy moment for United as Maguire carelessly gives the ball away, allowing Emerson to charge goalwards. The left-back decides to ignore options in the middle and instead goes for goal, which proves to be a poor decision as he lashes high and wide of the target.

Despite the scoreline, Moyes and West Ham will certainly feel like there is something in this game for them still. They were the better team in that first half, and the visitors will harbour hopes of finding a leveller, or even better a winner, after the break.

Manchester United vs West Ham United

14:51

The half-time whistle blows as the teams head back to the Old Trafford changing rooms with the scoreline 1-0 to United. It's been a far from convincing performance from the hosts, however, with West Ham going close on a number of occasions, forcing Onana to come to the rescue. The Red Devils have the lead by virtue of Hojlund's magnificent opener, shifting onto his right foot before lashing into the bottom corner. Onana has maintained his side's advantage with a strong display between the sticks, and United have a slender lead at the interval.

Hojlund lashes the wrong side of the post for United as we move into one minute of additional time at the end of this first half.

14:48

Ward-Prowse's eyes light up as the ball falls to him 30 yards out, but he scuffs his effort badly, sending the ball flying well wide of the target.

Manchester United vs West Ham United

14:45

London clubs have won just one of their last 19 Premier League away games against United (three draws, 15 losses), with Crystal Palace picking up a 1-0 victory earlier this season.

Manchester United vs West Ham United

14:44

The visitors have accumulated 0.95 xG (expected goals) to United's 0.14, but it's the hosts who have the slender advantage thanks to Hojlund's all-important opener. West Ham are very much on top at the moment.

Manchester United vs West Ham United

14:40

Soucek cynically takes out Mainoo off the ball as Hojlund looked to lead a United counter-attack. The West Ham man receives a booking for his troubles.

14:40

The visitors are enjoying the majority of the pressure now, with United not really capitalising on taking the lead. Moyes will be encouraged despite the scoreline.

Manchester United vs West Ham United

14:38

Before this match, United have won all of the previous 20 times they have scored the first goal at home to West Ham in the Premier League. Can the Hammers break that unwanted streak by finding a way back into the contest?

Manchester United vs West Ham United

14:34

Bowen loops a cross to the back post, where Kudus does well to divert a header back across goal. However, Onana again is there to make the save. West Ham are certainly knocking on the door, but they remain a goal down.

Manchester United vs West Ham United

14:33

Hojlund (21y 0d) is the youngest player to score in four successive Premier League appearances since Dele Alli in January 2017 (20y 268d).

14:30

Johnson blasts the ball towards goal from all of 30 yards out, but it only serves to sting the hands of Onana as he beats away to his right.

On his 21st birthday, Hojlund has become the youngest player to score in four consecutive Premier League appearances for United.

14:23

A free-kick in a great position has West Ham fans almost expecting the ball to find the back of the net with Ward-Prowse stood over it. However, it's not the set-piece wizard's finest effort as the ball hits the wall and deflects away from danger.

Manchester United vs West Ham United

14:21

A cross from the right finds Soucek near the edge of the box, and his eventual shot takes a deflection off Maguire and flies towards the bottom corner. Luckily for United, the ball goes just wide of the post. Both teams have had decent chances to get ahead now, though neither has been able to take them to this point.

Manchester United vs West Ham United

14:19

BIG SAVE! Having just taken a blow to the head, Areola shakes off the effects to make a vital stop. Fernandes lets fly from 25 yards out, and his effort takes a nick off Emerson and looks to be looping into the top corner. However, Areola makes an acrobatic save to tip it away from danger.

Manchester United vs West Ham United

14:17

In clearing behind for a corner, Zouma inadvertently kicks his goalkeeper Areola in the head. The West Ham goalkeeper momentarily looks weary, though he is back on his feet.

Manchester United vs West Ham United

14:16

Following their 2-0 win at the London Stadium in December, West Ham are looking to complete their first league double over United since 2006-07. Their 1-0 victory at Old Trafford on the final day that season was also their last away league victory against the Red Devils.

Manchester United vs West Ham United

14:15

WHAT A SAVE! A Ward-Prowse corner finds Soucek, who flicks the ball on. It hits Emerson, and could have potentially wrong-footed Onana, but the United goalkeeper is up to the task as he leaps to his left and parries away from danger. That is the closest either side has come so far to getting their noses in front.

Manchester United vs West Ham United

14:13

Mainoo is the sixth-youngest player to make 10 Premier League appearances for Manchester United (18 years, 291 days), and is just one day older than Cristiano Ronaldo was on his 10th appearance in 2003.

Manchester United vs West Ham United

14:10

Bowen receives the ball in the box before trying to feed Emerson, but the pass goes awry and dribbles straight through to the waiting hands of Onana.

United are unbeaten in their last 15 Premier League home games against West Ham (12 wins, three draws), winning each of the last three 1-0.

14:07

United have enjoyed most of the early possession, without really testing West Ham's defence. The hosts are trying to get the ball to Rashford as often as they can.

The hosts kick us off and we are under way at Old Trafford!

13:58

Moyes makes two alterations from his team's last outing, a 1-1 draw at home to Bournemouth. Phillips endured a poor start to his West Ham career having joined on loan from Manchester City, gifting a goal to Dominic Solanke just three minutes in, and he is dropped to the bench as Coufal comes in. Aguerd for Mavropanos is the other change.

Manchester United vs West Ham United

13:58

Erik ten Hag makes just the one change from the topsy-turvy win over Wolves, as Maguire comes in for Varane at centre-back. Amrabat is back from the Africa Cup of Nations and returns to the bench, while Mainoo, who scored the winner at Molineux, retains his place in midfield.

In contrast to their hosts' form, the Hammers are five without a win in all competitions, though four of these have been draws. After a strong start to the season, David Moyes will be desperate for his side to get back to winning ways and revive their charge for the European places come the end of the season.

Manchester United vs West Ham United

13:37

A thrilling 4-3 win over Wolves in midweek made it four unbeaten for United in all competitions, and while they are currently eighth in the Premier League, another victory here would see them leapfrog Brighton, as well as their opponents West Ham, into sixth.
