Ruud van Nistelrooy enjoyed the dream start to life as interim manager of Manchester United with a 5-2 win against Leicester City in the Carabao Cup fourth round at a buoyant Old Trafford.
After being serenaded by the home fans, the first goal of Van Nistelrooy’s reign came inside 15 minutes, and from the same player who scored the final goal under Erik ten Hag, Casemiro. At West Ham, he headed home from all of three yards out, while here he stuck one in the top corner from 30 yards, giving Foxes keeper Danny Ward no chance and van Nistelrooy an early reason to celebrate.
