Van Nistelrooy leaves Old Trafford with third win, leaving a strong impression after 4 unbeaten matches in interim charge with Man United

Having only won one match in the last 5 Premier League outings, it is no surprise that Man United are determined to win all 3 points when welcoming Leicester to Old Trafford on the evening of November 10.

Interim coach Ruud van Nistelrooy’s team just defeated the “Foxes” in a 7-goal match in the League Cup a few days ago and if they repeat this feat, it will be completely normal.

Pressing Leicester right from the start of the match, Man United still had to wait until the 17th minute to open the scoring. Bruno Fernandes received the ball from Noussair Mazaroui after a throw-in on the left wing and the “Red Devils” captain coordinated with Amad Diallo before receiving the ball back, confidently unleashing a tricky shot from outside the box.

Goalkeeper Mads Hermanson flew all over but still could not touch the ball, and had to watch in dismay as Leicester’s net shook. 1-0 for Man United.

The home team were then lucky to escape defeat when Wilfried Ndidi could not defeat Man United goalkeeper Andre Onana in two consecutive one-on-one situations within 4 minutes.

While pushing up the squad to find an equalizer, Leicester unexpectedly conceded a second, rather unfortunate goal. In the 38th minute, Bruno Fernandes still rushed in to head in a cross from Noussair Mazraoui, but centre-back Victor Kristiansen blocked the ball, causing it to change direction and fly straight into goalkeeper Mads Hermanson’s goal.

The second half did not have many highlights with several missed situations from the home team Man United’s strikers. A few dozen seconds after racing nearly the length of half the field and then tripping over the ball in Leicester’s penalty area, in the 82nd minute, Alejandro Garnacho “atoned” when he received the ball from Bruno Fernandes and finished extremely delicately with his right foot.

The ball curved and then stuck into the top corner of Leicester’s goal, giving goalkeeper Hermansen no chance to block it.

3-0 for Man United and this was also the final score of the match. Winning all 3 points in the last time of interim coach Van Nistelrooy, Man United still stood still in 13th place on the rankings. Leicester also did not fall out of 15th place despite losing 5 matches after 11 rounds.

Tottenham surprisingly lost at home to newcomers Ipswich Town, who have yet to win in the Premier League after 10 matches. Samuel Szmodicz and Liam Delap gave Ipswich Town a 2-0 lead in the first half. Rodrigo Bentancur’s equaliser in the 69th minute was not enough for Tottenham to snatch even a point at home.

Tottenham are still stuck in 9th place, but Ipswich Town have jumped two places from second to last place, temporarily escaping the danger zone at the bottom of the table.
