In their last game before Reuben Amorim Manchester United officially took over as manager and recorded a 3-0 win Leicester City on Saturday at Old Trafford.
The victory capped a successful run of four games unbeaten for the interim coach Ruud van Nistelrooywho took over at the end of October. Van Nistelrooy’s 75% win rate during his short tenure is the best in United’s history.
Bruno Fernandes was the star of the show, scoring the opening goal and contributing to the second. The United captain has now scored more goals for the club than the club legend Eric Cantona.
Fernandes’ resurgence under Van Nistelrooy will be of particular interest to new coach Amorim, who will officially begin his tenure on Monday. Fernandes failed to score in his last 17 appearances under previous coach Erik ten Hag, but has scored four goals in four games since Van Nistelrooy took charge.
The performances of the midfielders will also encourage the new coach Casemiro And Manuel Ugartewho have built a solid partnership under the interim boss. Full-back Diogo Dalot And Noussair Mazraoui was also impressed, even if the former struggled at times against Leicester Abdul Fatawu.
With the international break now upon us, Amorim will have time to assess his new squad ahead of the next Premier League game against United Ipswich town on November 24th
