Man United thrashes Leicester City again as Nistelrooy ends stint as interim manager unbeaten
The HinduManchester United captain Bruno Fernandes bagged one goal and created two more in his team’s spirited 3-0 Premier League victory over Leicester City on Sunday, a victorious send-off for Ruud van Nistelrooy in his finale as interim manager. “I absolutely believe this club has all the ingredients to get back to the levels I knew as a player,” Van Nistelrooy wrote in Sunday’s game programme. “It’s a new era, a new manager means everything changes but what hasn’t changed is that this club has to get back to where it belongs.” Sunday’s game deteriorated along with the weather in the second half, although Jordan Ayew had an excellent chance for the visitors when he smashed a shot at the near post which was tipped wide for a corner. “It was a fairly even game in general play but in decisive moments we didn’t defend well enough,” Leicester manager Steve Cooper said.
