    Alejandro Garnacho is so exciting. Bruno Fernandes clears a ball over the top and the Argentine is on to it, trying to cut in and curl one into the corner, but his shot is blocked by Ezri Konsa.

    Garnacho is on his knees, he's ran miles tonight.

    Brilliant pressing from United who are so up for this now. We've not seen them play like this since Chelsea.

    It's amazing, it really is! I'm actually feeling relief for Rasmus Hojlund.

    It is one of those chances where it drops to you and you don't have to think about it. It comes off McGinn's right knee from the corner and he just takes the snapshot.

    An excellent finish, he swivels and smashes the finish off the post.

    And, after 1,000 Premier League minutes, Rasmus Hojlund has his first league goal.

    United take a corner quickly, it's sent into the area, comes off John McGinn's knee, and falls to Hojlund who swipes at it and sees his shot go in off the post.

    United look the more likely winners all day. They are the team in the ascendancy right now and by some distance.

    Villa will always be a threat on the counter but United have the momentum.
