Manchester United began life under interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy with a resounding 5-2 victory over Leicester City in the Carabao Cup last 16, just days after the sacking of Erik ten Hag. The win at Old Trafford saw standout performances from Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro, who each netted twice, while Alejandro Garnacho added another goal to seal the comprehensive win.
The Red Devils, who had struggled with poor finishing in their previous match against West Ham—Ten Hag’s final game in charge—rediscovered their attacking prowess under Van Nistelrooy’s leadership. Leicester, meanwhile, fielded a weakened side with manager Steve Cooper making nine changes in preparation for their upcoming Premier League clash with Ipswich.
Casemiro opened the scoring with a stunning long-range strike that lifted the spirits at Old Trafford. Garnacho quickly followed up with a goal of his own, converting a cross from Diogo Dalot to double United’s lead. The dominant performance set the tone for the rest of the match, as United cruised into the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.
