Just fired Erik ten Hag, Man Utd won big

On the morning of October 31, Man Utd won a resounding 5-2 victory over Leicester City in the fourth round of the English League Cup. This is the first time the Red Devils have scored 5 goals against their opponents in a match since August 2021.

Man Utd opened the scoring early thanks to Casemiro. In the 15th minute, the Brazilian midfielder scored a beautiful shot from 25 meters away. The ball barely hit the crossbar and flew into the net, leaving goalkeeper Danny Ward rooted to the spot.

More than 10 minutes later, Casemiro sent a pass over the line to Diogo Dalot on the right wing. The Portuguese defender crossed accurately for Alejandro Garnacho to tap the ball into the net from close range to double the gap.

Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro are the two most impressive players of Man Utd.

Man Utd scored two more goals in the first half, with Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro scoring respectively. Bruno scored his first goal of the 2024-25 season after a free kick in the 36th minute. The ball hit defender James Justin and changed direction, but the goal was still counted for the Man Utd captain.

3 minutes later, Casemiro completed his double after a messy situation in the penalty area. This was Casemiro's 3rd goal in just 3 days.

Leicester's efforts brought them 2 goals from El Khannous and Conor Coady in the first half. Man Utd played comfortably in the second half, having scored 4 goals before. Bruno Fernandes completed his double in the 59th minute, sealing a 5-2 victory for the home team.

This is not the first time Man Utd have had more than 20 shots in a game this season, but the efficiency of the attack has improved significantly. This is considered a successful debut for interim coach Ruud Van Nistelrooy, ahead of the match against Chelsea in round 10 of the Premier League.

After defeating Leicester in the fourth round of the League Cup, Man Utd will face Tottenham in the quarter-finals.
