Man Utd striker Hojlund praises fellow goalscorer Garnacho: You can see our connection

Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund praised teammate Alejandro Garnacho after victory over West Ham.

Hojlund scored once and Garnacho twice for the 3-0 win.

He said afterwards: "It was very good. It is always special to play on your birthday but today of course with the win, yeah.

"I have spoken about doing a celebration with my friends and they said about doing the guitar.

"A month ago there was a lot of talk about us [Hojlund and Garnacho] not scoring enough goals but we are both young and growing every day. You can see the connection between us."

Hojlund also said: "It has always been there, I have always believed in myself, it has just been about getting the rhythm going. You get one goal, then two and get a bit of momentum and start linking up with the players.

"I spoke with my team-mates and manager because we need to make each other better, that is what it is about. I want to be involved as much as possible.

"I also worked a lot on myself, I looked at my game and what I could improve. I think I have developed a lot since I've been here."
