Wonderkid, Alejandro Garnacho gave the Red Devils the inspiration needed to comeback from a goal down to defeat Westham United 3-1 in the FA Cup second round game on Wednesday.
With the win, Erik ten Hag’s men progressed to the FA Cup quarter-finals, where they will host Fulham.
Manchester United already got one silverware already after defeating Newcastle United in the 2023 Carabao cup last Sunday.
United looked set to be brought back down to earth with a bump after Said Benrahma put David Moyes’ West Ham into a deserved lead at Old Trafford.
But Nayef Aguerd’s 77th-minute own goal sparked an impressive turnaround, with teenager Garnacho’s superb 90th-minute effort followed by a stoppage-time strike by Fred in a 3-1 triumph. Their quarter-final will take place on the weekend of March 18 and 19.
There was a sense of relief among the delighted celebrations as Ten Hag’s men progressed from the fifth-round tie despite a shaky performance, keeping their hopes of a quadruple alive.
“I see today another step,” manager Ten Hag said of Garnacho. “I tell him before the game ‘it’s getting time you had an impact when you come on, but now you need to have impact as a starter’.
