Manchester United secured a convincing 3-0 victory over Leicester in the Premier League, extending their unbeaten streak to four games under interim coach Ruud van Nistelrooy. The win marks a positive trajectory for the team as they prepare to welcome incoming head coach Ruben Amorim, who officially starts his tenure on Monday after completing his notice period at Sporting Lisbon.
Van Nistelrooy, the former assistant to Erik ten Hag, has been instrumental in United's recent success, guiding the team to three wins and a draw during his temporary reign. Sunday's win propelled United closer to the Champions League qualifying places, now sitting just four points adrift.
Bruno Fernandes showcased his brilliance on his 250th appearance for the club, scoring a stunning curling shot from the edge of the area in the 17th minute. His second goal came in the 38th minute when Victor Kristiansen inadvertently deflected the ball into the net, doubling United's lead before halftime.
Substitute Alejandro Garnacho added to the spectacle with a remarkable goal in the 82nd minute, sealing United's victory with a powerful strike from outside the box.
Meanwhile, third-place Nottingham Forest suffered a 3-1 defeat at home against Newcastle, despite initially leading 1-0 at halftime. Murillo's goal was not enough as Newcastle's Alexander Isak, Joelinton, and Harvey Barnes orchestrated a comeback to secure the win.
In another match, Ipswich claimed their first league victory of the season with a 2-1 win over Tottenham, marking a significant milestone for the team.
Manchester United's recent form under Van Nistelrooy sets a positive tone for Amorim's arrival, with the team showing promising signs of improvement and resilience on the field.
