Taking over after Erik ten Hag&#8217;s exit, van Nistelrooy&#8217;s side displayed a powerful offensive performance. Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes both scored twice, while Alejandro Garnacho also added his name to the scoresheet.<\/p>\n<p>United set the pace early, opening the scoring in the 15th minute. The first half saw a whirlwind of goals, with six netted in total, including Casemiro&#8217;s quickfire double, four of which came in a frantic 11-minute stretch. Leicester went into halftime trailing 4-2 but struggled to mount a comeback in the second half.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"it\">&#8220;Bruno, Bruno, Brunoooo&#8221; \ud83c\udfb6 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/CFyP9Iwha4\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/CFyP9Iwha4<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Manchester United (@ManUtd) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ManUtd\/status\/1851735985001787753?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">October 30, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Bruno Fernandes added his second goal in the 59th minute, securing the win.
