Bruno Fernandes Scores as United Thrash Leicester City
Manchester United thrashed Leicester City for the second time this season as they beat them 3-0. It is a great record for interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy as he did not lose any match in his time as the interim manager of the club.
Bruno Fernandes scored the opener and claimed a second which went down as a Victor Kristiansen own goal. Argentine star Alejandro Garnacho came off the bench to score the third goal.
It provides a positive platform for new head coach Ruben Amorim to fly into England on Monday. Manchester United is still to confirm the precise nature of Amorim’s backroom team and whether Van Nistelrooy will be part of it.
However, the home fans serenaded Van Nistelrooy at the final whistle and the Dutchman can be pleased with the return of three wins and a draw from four games, even if United remain in the bottom half of the table.
Manchester United’s fans made their feelings about the exiting interim boss clear. They said he will always be a hero in these parts for the 150 goals he scored in five seasons as a player with the club and now as manager.
