RUUD VAN NISTELROOY’S Manchester United roared to an entertaining 5-2 victory against Leicester to reach the Carabao Cup quarter-finals as the post-Erik ten Hag era began with a bang.
Van Nistelrooy – who returned to the club in the summer as one of Ten Hag’s assistants – celebrated as excitedly as those in the Old Trafford stands when Casemiro opened the scoring with a stunner 15 minutes into his first match in temporary charge. United had won just one of their eight matches in all competitions since swatting aside Barnsley 7-0 in the previous round of the Carabao Cup and they looked hungry after what Van Nistelrooy called a “hectic” build-up.
Van Nistelrooy raised his arms aloft in celebration, looking as stunned as any fan by the quality of the goal.Displaying the kind of quality and cutting edge lacking in Sunday’s costly loss to West Ham, Diogo Dalot was found by a floated ball down the flank and fizzed a low delivery to the far post for Garnacho to slam home.
