Manchester United 3-0 West Ham United Hojlund has scored in four consecutive games Martinez's injury again is worrying

On February 4, it was reported that Manchester United fans have not seen such a relaxed game in Old Trafford for a long time!

In the 23rd round of the Premier League, Manchester United defeated West Ham United 3-0 at home, although the Hammers were a little harassed, but Manchester United won a lot. In the past, although some balls won, it was also fearful!

Manchester United's defensive discipline has improved

Manchester United defended well in this game, the back line and the midfield line kept the two lines close together during the positional battle, and West Ham United except for the ball on both sides, it was difficult to get chances through the middle through combination. And Chofal's cross on the right was mostly disrupted by Martinez. Don't look at Martinez's small stature, the air defense is really okay.

Manchester United's defence is more stable than before, thanks to the two midfielders. Casemiro's state is gradually improving, and the youngster Mainou is a firefighter, where there is danger, he can run, he can grab, this is really a treasure of Manchester United.

Of course, Onana was back to normal, with the Hammers hitting the target five of their 11 shots, with Onana making four saves and one being blocked by Diogo Dalot.

United's only real danger came in the 19th minute when West Ham United won a free-kick at the top of the box. For Prowse, it was almost a penalty. But maybe it's too close to goal, plus everyone at Manchester United is back, six big men standing on the wall, one lying on the ground, and there are men. The ball hits the wall and the danger is lifted.

Although Maguire made small mistakes, on the whole, Manchester United's defense was much more solid than before. It was also United's first clean sheet in six league games since a 0-0 draw at Liverpool.

Martinez was injured again

Manchester United also paid the price for the victory, Martinez was pressed to the right leg by Caofal's body when defending Caofal's bottom line, apparently there was a problem with the medial collateral ligament in the knee, Martinez insisted on returning to the field, but after Dalot tackled Bowen's shot, Martinez could not hold on, and Varane came off the bench.

Fortunately, Caofar does not weigh too much (about 75 kilograms), and it is estimated that Martinez's injury will not be too serious, and the medial collateral ligament of the knee will be stretched and will not tear.

This reminds me of Sun Jihai's injury, when he fell to the ground and was crushed by Goodjanssen's heavy weight, resulting in a torn cruciate ligament. Goodjanssen was 1.85 meters tall and weighed about 83 kilograms at the time.

Martinez has been out for almost half a season with an injury, and has only just returned in January, hopefully not a major injury.

Hojlund is out of form

Hojlund has scored in 4 consecutive games and is in hot form!

2-2 Tottenham 1 goal, 1 assist

4-2 Newport County 1 goal

4-3 Wolves 1 goal and 1 assist

3-0 West Ham 1 goal

Hojlund also invented a new celebratory move, playing the guitar, and it seems that the Danish guy is more into rock 'n' roll.

Manchester United's most important signings this season have finally begun to hit back the doubters with consistent goals.

Another controversial winger, Garnacho, also happily scored two goals.

Marcus Rashford is still in a slump and doesn't look like he's coming out of the shadows of his disciplinary problems.

West Ham United are not on the fence

West Ham beat Manchester United 2-0 at home in the first leg of the season, when the Reds squad was incomplete and all the main centre-backs were injured, and Ten Hag had to use 36-year-old veteran Evans to partner 19-year-old Cambuara, and the result was a disaster. At that time, Manchester United did play poorly as a whole, and after the New Year, Ten Hag made Manchester United more like a unit.

West Ham United's core Paqueta is absent, and the attacking power has been halved. In fact, like Newcastle, there are many mediocre people in the West Ham United squad, no way, the budget is limited, and it is impossible to be like the giants, every position is a star.

Let's talk about this left-back Emerson, who is worth 10 million pounds, and is quite suitable for a mid-table team. But if the Hammers want to pursue higher, they must not only have a 60 million pound core like Paqueta, but at least 30 million pounds from Sochek in all starting positions. Otherwise, you'll have to be like Liverpool and be able to pull up the academy players. Emerson didn't pass the ball when he should have passed, Bowen was in such a good position, and as a result, he was unbalanced and shot at goal. Emerson must have felt very uncomfortable inside, what a good equaliser, he was wasted. As a result, he turned back and made another mistake in defense, and Garnacho shook off the goal, and the ball hit Aguer and refracted into the net.

Of course, money doesn't necessarily lead to good play, like Chelsea, like Manchester United in the first half of the season.

But no money, it certainly won't work. West Ham United, Newcastle (who dare not spend money), including Villa, are still unable to compete with the giants in the long league.

Therefore, it is not easy for David Moyes to bring West Ham to this role.

At the end of the campaign, Manchester United overtook West Ham United and moved up to sixth, but they are still six points clear of fifth-placed Tottenham.

The expansion of the Champions League to the Premier League could get five places, and Manchester United will have to catch up with Villa and Tottenham Hotspur if they want to qualify for next season's Champions League.

West Ham have dropped to seventh and will only hope that Paqueta will return soon if they want to qualify for Europe.
