Alejandro Garnacho celebrates scoring – Manchester United complete dramatic late comeback over West Ham – Getty Images/Lindsey ParnabyBy James Ducker at Old TraffordIt is only three months since Cristiano Ronaldo left Manchester United but the club have moved on so quickly it already feels like a lifetime ago and even the chant associated with the Portugal striker has found an exciting new outlet.Alejandro Garnacho, in truth, was making a name for himself before Ronaldo had actually left the building. His dramatic late winner against Fulham in November in United’s final game before the World Cup served notice of his enormous talent and ensured Craven Cottage reverberated to the sound of “Viva Garnacho”.So when Wout Weghorst’s shot cannoned off Nayef Aguerd and high into the air with the clock about to hit 90 and the prospect of extra-time looming, there was a feverish expectation as the ball dropped and Garnacho killed it dead with the deftest of touches to set up the shot to follow. But as soon as the ball left the Argentine teenager’s right foot, it was only ending up in one place and as it flew into the far corner a loud, guttural roar erupted from all sides of Old Trafford who were soon dancing to that familiar tune as they toasted a memorable comeback. Fulham now await in the quarter-finals.“It is a great skill when you are fearless, when you are brave,” the United manager Erik ten Hag said of the Argentine teenager. “He is one of the players that I think has a skill that is so specific. There are not many players in world football who take players on, who are capable of just going at players and out dribbling them. But he has more skill than only that, for example, finishing as we saw. I also has a big engine. He is fast and has speed, but he can keep running for 90 minutes or 120 minutes.”Garnacho was United’s standout performer – Manchester United complete dramatic late comeback over West Ham – PA/Martin RickettWhat a run United are on. What momentum they have. What spirit and togetherness they are showing. They will go to Anfield on Sunday and face Liverpool brimming with confidence. They had paraded the Carabao Cup before kick off following Sunday’s triumph against Newcastle but, with 14 minutes to go, it did not look like they would be adding the FA Cup to the collection this season.Behind to Said Benrahma’s stunning strike early in the second half, a weakened, understrength United had David De Gea to thank for the damage not being more severe, the Spain goalkeeper having made two excellent saves in either half to deny Michail Antonio.David Moyes, the West Ham manager, was right to bemoan those missed chances and what he called the “two ridiculous goals” his side gave away so late, with poor Aguerd enduring a nightmare end to the game as they crumbled under the weight of pressure. United, though, are finding different ways to win and different players are stepping forward at different times. “Once again the team showed personality, character, they never give up and turned this game around,” Ten Hag said. “It’s massive in terms of mentality.”The first half was a reminder of how Ten Hag’s squad still needs strengthening. This was very much a United second string, with the manager making six changes to Sunday’s team, and it showed, so much so that Ten Hag did not hesitate in introducing his midfield lynchpin, Casemiro, at the interval and before too long Marcus Rashford and Lisandro Martinez were also introduced.Neither Harry Maguire nor Victor Lindelof convinced alongside each other at centre-half and you could see the uncertainty it bred through the rest of the team.Michail Antonio – Manchester United complete dramatic late comeback over West Ham – PA/Martin RickettAntonio’s first golden chance came in the 23rd minute when Benrahma spotted an inviting gap between Maguire and Lindelof and released Michael Antonio on goal, only for De Gea to spare his defenders’ blushes. Maguire was later booked for a clumsy late challenge on Antonio. Marcel Sabitzer forced a good low save and Garnacho had an effort pushed away but United could probably not have too many complaints about falling behind.There was a whiff of controversy about Benrahma’s goal. The questions centred on whether the ball had gone out of play on the touchline before Tomas Soucek played in Emerson down West Ham’s left flank, from where the full-back pulled the ball back for Benrahma to let fly with a bullet of a shot. But Simon Hooper, the Var, decided the whole ball had not gone out and West Ham had their lead. They should have doubled it, too, but Antonio – for the second time on the night – was denied by De Gea after tearing away from Martinez.Video technology would work against United again 18 minutes from time when Casemiro headed home Fernandes’ free-kick only for it to be ruled out for offside but, five minutes later, United were level, Aguerd heading home Fernandes’ corner under pressure from Weghorst.Weghorst was a handful all night. He has been criticised for a lack of goals but he forced the errors that led to Garnacho’s winner and a third from Fred after Aguerd had miscontrolled, allowing the Dutchman to poke the ball to the Brazilian to finish.Manchester United vs West Ham United: As it happened09:57 PMFA Cup quarter-final drawManchester City vs BurnleyManchester United vs FulhamBrighton vs Grimsby TownSheffield United vs Blackburn09:55 PMHere are the teams in the quarter-finalsGrimsby TownBlackburn RoversBrightonSheffield UnitedFulhamManchester CityManchester UnitedBurnley09:54 PMResults in the other matches tonightSome upsets in here.Southampton 1 Grimsby 2Burnley 1 Fleetwood 0Sheff Utd 1 Tottenham 0The quarter final draw is coming imminently.09:53 PMAnd here’s Fred’s09:48 PMGarnacho’s delightful finish09:47 PMHarry Maguire speaks with ITV SportWe were poor in the first half, we’ve got to start better than that.

Fernandes whips in the free kick from the left, a gorgeous ball in, but the Brazilian has gone a second early when he meets it with his head and puts it past Areola. It looks fairly clear from the naked eye, but there’s still a Var check to confirm it.09:15 PM69 mins: Man Utd 0 West Ham 1All very untidy from Malacia here.

The Man Utd players switch off and Soucek plays in Emerson ahead of him, who in turn cuts it back Benrahma in the Man Utd box who throttles his shot into the back of De Gea’s net.The Man Utd players are confident they’re going to be given a throw… but after a Var check, it’s been given. A Japan vs Spain World Cup situation there.08:57 PM53 mins: Man Utd 0 West Ham 0Fernandes, back to Sabitzer, who then flicks it over the top of Aguerd.

Man Utd are starting to threaten.08:56 PM51 mins: Man Utd 0 West Ham 0Casemiro, from Fernandes, feeding Weghorst – but it’s a poor first touch from the Dutchman who has to go back on himself to get the ball back before lashing it towards goal on the turn and on the tight diagonal.

Big save – West Ham corner.08:09 PM21 mins: Man Utd 0 West Ham 0Johnson is really tight on Garnacho as the Man Utd man dribbles into the West Ham box.

Readers of a certain vintage may remember some classic Cup ties between the two: Norman Whiteside’s ‘perfect’ hat-trick in 1985, the year he won the the Cup by beating Neville Southall with his beautiful bender, 1986’s fifth round replay when Ray Tonka Stewart and Geoff Pike scored in a 2-0 victory as the wheels feel off a season that had begun at a sprint for Ron Atkinson’s Man Utd, Paolo Di Canio’s cheek and brilliance in 2001’s 1-0 win and Marcus Rashford’s performance during his stunning rise to prominence in 2016’s away victory en route to winning the Cup at Wembley as the club were preparing to do the dirty on Louis van Gaal.They also met two years ago in a dreary match that Scott McTominay won in extra-time but the fillip of parading the League Cup they won on Sunday should stir both sides up to put on a show. West Ham played well on Saturday with a back four and a more attacking set-up in midfield, hammering Nottingham Forest. It would be good for David Moyes, and his standing with West Ham fans, to persevere with that approach tonight if only to hone it for Saturday’s trip to Brighton when the last thing they would want to watch is a reversion to caution and pragmatism.Erik ten Hag has been rotating his defenders and right wingers over the past few weeks and may give starts to Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Tyrell Malacia, Alejandro Garnacho and/or Jadon Sancho. Luke Shaw, Fred and Anthony Martial were rated as very doubtful at yesterday’s press conference.West Ham’s Lukasz Fabianski fractured his eye socket and cheekbone in Saturday’s collision with Forest’s Felipe and will be out for a while. Vladimir Coufal may be back at the weekend but was ruled out of this match while Maxwel Cornet is closing in on a return from last October’s calf injury but isn’t ready.
