Red Devils Rampage: Manchester United crush Leicester at Old Trafford
Manchester United put on a dominant display at Old Trafford on Sunday, outclassing Leicester City with a 3-0 victory to continue their impressive run of form.
The scoring began in the 17th minute when Amad Diallo set up Bruno Fernandes at the edge of the box. Fernandes took advantage of the space, sending a precise shot into the bottom right corner to give United an early 1-0 lead.
Leicester had a chance to equalise in the 28th minute when Wilfred Ndidi received a promising pass in the six-yard box. However, his effort was poorly struck, making it an easy save for United goalkeeper Andre Onana.
United extended their lead in the 38th minute in an unfortunate moment for Leicester’s Victor Kristiansen. Attempting to block a cross, Kristiansen redirected the ball into his own net, putting United ahead 2-0 before halftime.
Just before the break, Amad Diallo tried his luck from outside the box, but Leicester’s Mads Hermansen was alert, producing a fine save to keep the scoreline from worsening.
Leicester showed moments of promise, with Jordan Ayew coming close to scoring in the 69th minute. However, his mid-range shot lacked the power to beat Onana, who comfortably dealt with the attempt.
United sealed the victory in the 82nd minute with a well-executed play by Fernandes, who set up Alejandro Garnacho. Spotting Hermansen slightly off his line, Garnacho coolly fired into the top right corner, rounding off the scoring at 3-0.
This decisive win strengthens United’s position, as they continue to build momentum in their campaign.
