Ruud van Nistelrooy wrapped up his time at Manchester United on a high note as the team cruised to a 3-0 victory over Leicester City at Old Trafford. Bruno Fernandes celebrated his 250th appearance by scoring the opening goal with a well-placed shot from outside the box. The United captain played a crucial role in doubling the lead before halftime when his attempt deflected off Leicester’s Victor Kristiansen, resulting in an own goal.

In the second half, substitute Alejandro Garnacho added to the excitement with a stunning strike from long range, curling the ball into the top corner. Fernandes once again contributed to the play, demonstrating his influence on the match. United seem to have rediscovered their goal-scoring form.

Leicester had a few chances, with Andre Onana making a save to deny Wilfred Ndidi, but Van Nistelrooy’s tenure ended on a positive note, marking three wins and a draw in his four games before Ruben Amorim takes over as manager. United’s victory moves them up to 12th place, while Leicester remains in 15th.
