Manuel Ugarte was a fire-dousing dynamo who did his best to ensure the Red Devils kept a clean sheet
Bruno Fernandes sparks Manchester United to easy victory over LeicesterIn an unsurprising move, Van Nistelrooy’s one change from the team that drew with Chelsea last Sunday was finding a place for the explosive aggression of Amad Diallo – Alejandro Garnacho was the fall guy – and his thrust had the visitors on their heels throughout.
The Leicester number 16 was soon to have a shocker for Fernandes’s opener. With his side on the attack, a long United clearance caused Kristiansen to hesitate: fatal if Diallo is closing down. He was, he took the ball, and made a turbocharged run on goal. The ball went for a throw-in and, again, Diallo starred. Noussair Mazaroui found Fernandes, who rolled the ball to Diallo.
Cue a Van Nistelrooy fit at the lack of a runner with Ndidi. Yet overall United were akin to a boxer ahead on points keeping the opposing pugilist at arm’s length with their jab: of this, Harry Winks’ hit-and-hope effort was emblematic. Could United close this out? Being unable to seal the deal has been one of their major faultlines. Manuel Ugarte was a fire-dousing dynamo who did his best to ensure they did so. A chop of Buonanotte that gave a free-kick near United’s D was due to this enthusiasm but the hash Leicester made of the dead ball had him off the hook.
But the 20-year-old laughed last and loudest thanks to a seventh goal of the campaign created by Fernandes’s curving pass and finished by an arrow from the winger that allowed Hermansen scant chance. – GuardianBruno Fernandes sparks Manchester United to easy victory over LeicesterRose of Tralee festival beset by financial problems and legal actions
