End of year may be nigh, but this has to be the start for United, not a finale

Garnacho’s double and Hojlund’s winner, after such a long wait to score in a United shirt, should be celebrated long into the night by supporters who have endured such a difficult season so far.

Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund gave Manchester United fans a glimpse of what is possible in 2024 by orchestrating a stirring, high-energy second-half comeback against Aston Villa; but, with only one game to go in 2023, this has to be the start of something and not a finale.

Garnacho’s double and Hojlund’s winner, after such a long wait to score in a United shirt, should be celebrated long into the night by supporters who have endured such a difficult season so far. Especially as it saw their team come from 2-0 down at half-time to win 3-2 in the end.
