EPL: Fernandes shines as Man United beat Leicester 3-0 in Van Nistelrooy’s final game

Manchester United marked Ruud van Nistelrooy’s last game as interim manager with a 3-0 win over Leicester City at Old Trafford.

Bruno Fernandes continued his scoring streak, netting the opener with a precise strike from outside the box to celebrate his 250th appearance for United.

Fernandes was also involved in United’s second goal, as his shot was deflected by Leicester’s Victor Kristiansen into the net just before halftime.

In the second half, substitute Alejandro Garnacho added a stunning third goal, curling a long-range effort into the top corner with Fernandes once again providing the assist.

While Leicester showed efforts, with Andre Onana denying Wilfred Ndidi’s close-range effort, United held strong to secure their third win in four games under Van Nistelrooy.

The interim manager, will this week hand over managerial duties to incoming boss Ruben Amorim.

The win also lifts United to 12th place, while Leicester remains in 15th, still struggling to find form after promotion.
