United and Leicester faced off in a very even match. Only two points separate the same setwho came into the clash closer to relegation than to honorable positions. The most recent precedent of duels between the two teams was in Ruud Van Nistelrooy’s first game in charge of Manchester, where the Reds won the League Cup 5-2. In fact, The Dutch coach is the figure of the past dayswhich marked his last day in charge of the team. “Starting tomorrow, I will support our new coach, Rubén Amorim. “I can tell you there is huge potential in these players,” said the former soccer player, who introduced new features in the center of defense and on the wings for his second league match.
Manchester United entered the match more actively, moving quickly and quite vertically. Dialloone of the new additions to the ‘Red Devils’ eleven compared to the last league match, led his team’s attack. In fact, in intelligence, Bruno Fernandes He joined him from the second line, between the winger and the forward, giving United’s offense a sense of urgency.
It was exactly Bruno, the rest of this United, who was in charge of opening the can. Diallo fell down the left wing on a counterattack, forcing a throw-in. Mazraoui served quickly to Fernandes, who relied on Diallo. He returned with a backheel and the Portuguese, after a focused control, launched a low right-hander at the stumps of Hermansen’s post, making it 1-0.. After the goal, Leicester seemed more proactive. Ndidi, after a precise pass from Ugarte and a mistake by Dalot to break offside, placed himself in front of Onana, but it was not resolved.
Even though, The ‘Foxes’ failed to pose any real danger to the localswho is strong in defense and can easily run in behind the opposing midfielder. As minutes passed, United regained positions and in one of those plays, after a Mazraoui’s right cross, Bruno catches the ball and Kristiansen puts the ball into his goal with his knee.. So, it was 2-0 at halftime. The ‘Red Devils’ have scored just two goals in the first half of their last ten games, the same number in the first 45 minutes against Leicester.
The pace dropped in the second half
The locals kept their balance at the start of the second half, taking control of the game and managing the tempo at their ease. Evans and Garnacho replaced Rashford and Dalot with the aim of refreshing the team. After going through the locker room, the pace of the game slowed down considerably. Leicester are completely incapable of creating danger for United who became powerful on the ball. The rain allowed the ball to move quickly from side to side, making it difficult for the Foxes to block.
After a counter perfectly led by Bruno Fernandes, who led and split the center backs perfectly, Grenache received the ball, dribbled past his partner and shot from the edge of the area to clear the ploys in the goal which was defended by Hermansen, who made the 3-0. So, if there are more chances of danger, a meeting ends the ‘Era of Van Nistelrooy’ to give way to a new era of illusions in the theater of dreams, whose bank will be occupied by Ruben Amorim.
