Five Talking Points from Manchester United's 3-1 victory over West Ham

United’s attackers peaking at the perfect moment

With Robin Van Persie out for the entire festive period of games, it looked as though United would struggle for goals. But, against Aston Villa last weekend, Welbeck started the game in his natural position and scored a brace, finding the net for the first time after the opening game against Swansea. He continued that run against West Ham, making it three goals in his last two starts in the League.

Along with Welbeck, Ashley Young, a player who has been widely maligned so far this season, also notched up his second goal in as many games, scoring from his first touch, since coming on as a substitute. Along with him, another Englishman, Cleverley, looks like a man transformed ever since his goal last weekend against Villa. In this game, he went close to doubling his tally in the opening minute and got forward at every opportunity. Everybody is certainly peaking at just the perfect time, as far as Moyes is concerned.
