The clash between MU and Leicester City marked the last match that Mr. Van Nistelrooy worked as interim coach at Old Trafford. After this match, the Dutch coach is expected to say goodbye to MU, handing over the head coach position to Mr. Ruben Amorim. Although he was just a substitute, Coach Nistelrooy helped the "Red Devils" have quite positive results in the last 2 matches: 1 win and 1 draw. Compared to the match against Leicester City in the English League Cup a few days ago (MU won 5-2), Coach Nistelrooy only made 1 change in the lineup and he did not hesitate to declare that MU would play offensively, winning beautifully.
Coincidentally, at the time of the match between MU and Leicester City, the British media also unexpectedly revealed pictures of former “Red Devils” coach Erik ten Hag. However, instead of staying in England, coach Erik ten Hag went to watch Ajax Amsterdam play in the Dutch league. The Guardian revealed that his family went with coach Erik ten Hag and he had a hard time overcoming the pain of being fired by MU.

As coach Nistelrooy had predicted, MU entered the match with great enthusiasm, overwhelming Leicester City. The Reds of Manchester had 60% possession and 8 shots (twice as many as their opponents). The 2-0 lead for MU was also a worthy result, reflecting the match situation after the first half.
Bruno Fernandes continued to be the most talked about player after the first half. At the end of coach Erik ten Hag's reign, the Portuguese player continuously played disappointingly and was criticized the most. However, after coach Erik ten Hag left, Bruno Fernandes suddenly played brilliantly, scoring 2 goals and 1 assist in just 2 matches.
In the match against Leicester City, Bruno Fernandes performed at his best, helping the home team open the score in the 17th minute with a beautiful shot from outside the box. In the second goal, Bruno Fernandes still left a big mark when he headed the ball, forcing Victor Kristiansen to score an own goal.

In the second half, MU continued to play beautifully. Although they had fewer shots than in the first half, the "Red Devils" attacks were more cohesive, constantly putting Leicester City's goal in a state of alarm. After many missed opportunities, Alejandro Garnacho curled a classy shot in the 82nd minute, putting MU up 3-0. Notably, the one who assisted Alejandro Garnacho to score was still Bruno Fernandes.
On a day when the attack played well, the MU defense also completed its task well. The duo Lisandro Martínez and Matthijs de Ligt made good judgments, made strong counter-attacks to keep Onana's net intact until the end of the match. This was completely different from the fragile, easily defeated defense of MU under coach Erik ten Hag.

With a resounding 3-0 win over Leicester City, MU ended the reign of interim coach Van Nistelrooy with an unbeaten record (2 wins, 1 draw). The Manchester team currently has 15 points, ranking 13th. However, the gap between the "Red Devils" and the top 4 is only 4 points.
