OneFootball Video

Ruud van Nistelrooy celebrated his final match in temporary charge of Manchester United with a comprehensive 3-0 victory. Goals from Bruno Fernandes and Alejandro Garnacho - as well as an own goal by Victor Kristiansen sealed a deserved win for an impressive United side at Old Trafford.

Ruben Amorim takes charge as Erik ten Hag’s permanent successor on Monday and will find a squad in high spirits after a four-game unbeaten run under Van Nistelrooy following his compatriot’s sacking. United captain Fernandes marked his 250th appearance for the club with a stunning opener after just 17 minutes - the first time his side has scored before the half-hour point this season.

Perennially slow starters United were two goals ahead at the break thanks to an own goal from Kristiansen after Fernandes connected with Noussair Mazraoui’s cross. Alejandro Garnacho - introduced in the second half for Marcus Rashford - completed the win with a stunning strike in the 82nd minute to set up Amorim’s arrival. Leicester are now just three points away from the relegation zone after their third defeat in four games. Follow all the reaction with our LIVE Standard Sport dedicated match blog below!

And Fernandes has explained that the 20-year-old winger feels he doesn’t have the backing of some sections of the Old Trafford fanbase.

“It was a good day at work, I have to say,” Fernandes told BBC Sport. “We have a lot of players with big qualities, but people can get too excited after one game and too down after another.
