In an impressive English Premier League (EPL) match at Old Trafford on Sunday, Manchester United dominated Leicester City with a decisive 3-0 victory, continuing their strong form under interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy. This latest win gives Van Nistelrooy a four-game unbeaten run as he prepares to hand over management duties to Ruben Amorim after the international break.
Bruno Fernandes shined as he marked his 250th appearance for Manchester United in spectacular fashion. The Portuguese midfielder opened the scoring with a powerful strike, netting his fourth goal in four matches. His quick exchange of passes with Amad Diallo led to the first goal, showcasing Fernandes’ skill and determination.
The playmaker continued to be a key presence on the field, as his swift move into the penalty area set up Manchester United’s second goal. A glancing touch from Fernandes created confusion in Leicester’s defense, resulting in an own goal by Leicester’s Victor Kristiansen.
Following Diallo’s impressive performance in a 2-0 Europa League win over PAOK earlier in the week, he earned a spot in the starting lineup, replacing Alejandro Garnacho. However, Garnacho made his mark after being substituted on in the second half, scoring an outstanding third goal with a strike into the top corner, sealing United’s victory.
Despite still being in 13th place, Manchester United now trails just three points behind the fifth spot in a closely contested Premier League table.
