Post match review: United 3 - 0 Leicester

A great win for Ruud on his last match as interim manager

We emerged the victors with a convincing 3-0 win over Leicester City in the Premier League in Ruud's final game as interim boss. Goals from Fernandes and Garnacho alongside an own goal gave us the win.

Author - Liam C

Andre Onana - 8

Had little to do but stepped up for a crucial save when called upon.

Diogo Dalot - 5

Struggled to keep up with Fatawu throughout the match. Maybe needs to be taken out of team for a bit. Clearly still an important player.

Matthijs de Ligt - 8

Strong and dependable, showing consistency across the game.

Lisandro Martinez - 7

Had a couple of nervy moments against Ayew but was generally solid.

Noussair Mazraoui - 8

A shrewd addition—his minimum standard is still impressive. He will prove to be one of our best signings in recent seasons. 

Casemiro - 8

Dominated his duels and brought good energy to the game. Looks back to his best at the moment. 

Manuel Ugarte - 8

Unsteady in the first half but improved significantly after the break. He is starting to show signs of his obvious ability and potential.

Bruno Fernandes - 9

Instrumental in all three goals—excellent display. A fantastic way to celebrate his 250th match for Manchester United. 

Marcus Rashford - 6

Struggled to make an impact at times but he constantly tried to get involved and worked hard positionally off the ball. I think the new manager will work wonders with him.

Rasmus Hojlund - 5

Unable to hold up play and occasionally looked out of sync.

Amad Diallo - 7.5

Lively throughout, capped off with a brilliant assist.

Substitutes:

Jonny Evans - 7

Has become a dependable option at the back.

Alejandro Garnacho - 7

Showed his resilience and netted a fantastic goal.

Joshua Zirkzee - 7

His best performance since the Southampton game.

Christian Eriksen - 7

Delivered a superb pass in the build-up to the third goal.

Manager: Ruud van Nistelrooy - 8

The team looked the most assured they have all season in the league. Well done Ruud, you've done a fantastic job.

"Follow, follow, follow, United are going Bilbao..." Ok, maybe too early to get carried away but that was a much needed win at Old Trafford. Author - Liam C Amad Diallo’s second-half double gave Ruud's reds the win they needed over Greek champions PAOK to kick-start our Europa League campaign and give incoming boss Ruben Amorim a shot at sealing a coveted top-eight finish.  Amad was by far our biggest goal threat. He broke the deadlock when he sent a looping header into the far corner five minutes after the interval. The Ivorian sealed the win when he curled home from the edge of the area 13 minutes from time. Tarik Tissoudall wasted PAOK’s best opportunity when he failed to convert from eight yards with only Andre Onana to beat. Onana also made an acrobatic save to deny Mady Camara during a largely drab opening half.  More reaction coming up on European Super Football

Harry Maguire to the rescue! Porto 3 - 3 MUFC Harry Maguire salvaged a dramatic draw for a 10-man Manchester United side, who had thrown away a two-goal lead and seen Bruno Fernandes sent off in their Europa League clash against Porto. Author - Liam C Maguire's injury-time header could be a lifeline for under-pressure manager Erik ten Hag, with the team just seconds from suffering their fourth defeat in ten games at the start of the season. In the first of five added minutes, Maguire leapt to meet Christian Eriksen's corner and expertly nodded the ball into the bottom corner, securing a crucial point.

Jonny Evans superb as United battle for a draw at Villa Villa 0 - 0 MUFC Erik ten Hag will be hoping that the hard-fought draw at Aston Villa eases some of the intense pressure surrounding his role. Author - Olivia T gave her thoughts In contrast to recent performances, we showed signs of the resilience that had been sorely lacking during the home defeat to Tottenham and the defensive frailty witnessed against Porto in the Europa League. Ten Hag called upon experienced defenders Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans to bring stability to the backline, though Maguire was forced off with an injury just before half-time. Marcus Rashford twice tested Villa’s goalkeeper, Emi Martinez, while United captain Bruno Fernandes came closest to scoring with a second-half free-kick that rattled the crossbar in front of the Holte End. Substitute Antony also drew an impressive acrobatic save from Martinez with a long-range effort. Meanwhile, United’s goalkeeper, Andre Onana, had a relatively quiet evenin
