Man United holds off Bodo/Glimt

Garnacho gave Man United the lead after just 48 seconds, thanks to Hojlund's incessant pressure on Bodo/Glimt goalkeeper Nikita Haikin.

However, that lead evaporated quickly following two quick-fire goals in the 19th and 23rd minutes to take a surprise lead, per 90min.

The visitors threatened to score more before Hojlund scored an equaliser late in the first half from Noussair Mazraoui's incredible cross.

Hojlund then tapped in his second early in the second half but could've had a hat-trick if Garancho passed the ball.

In the 53rd minute, Garnacho was in the 18-yard box with two defenders facing him and Hojpund free on his right. Instead of passing, he took an ambitious shot that didn't go in.

Fans call out Garnacho

Fans were not happy with Garnacho's decision-making against Bodo/Glimt. The Argentina winger has also received criticism for refusing to pass the ball.

@StoneBaddie:

"Very very bang average player Garnacho is, I don’t rate him at all. Even with rashford bad form, he doesn’t come close to benching Rashford in my books!"

@SerojaneLennox

"I know Ruben Amorim is gonna address this nonsense later after the game, coz this cant be happening every week like it has been for the past 3 seasons."

@BradleyCarl256:

"And when he gets feedback from the fans he'll throw tantrums and not celebrate the next goal. What a child."

@heskey_dennis

"Garnacho's decision making skills are wanting. So poor in judgements. Or he just wants to be the star of the show."

@Rudeboiifizzy

"He's slowly inheriting the Rashford habbits, doesn't look up to see if anyone else in a better position all he think about cutting in a shooting."

@manunitedigital

"Garnacho has to stop being selfish. He would be a monster if he improved his decision-making."

Garnacho calls out fan

YEN.com.gh earlier reported that Garnacho fired back at a fan who confronted him, asking him to "shoot better" and "work oh his first touch."

The 20-year-old responded to the fan with the comment, "Why are you not playing, man?" This sparked mixed reactions from fans.
