Video: Bruno Fernandes scores deflected free-kick; Casemiro completes brace

Manchester United lead 4-2 against Leicester City in the Carabao Cup fourth round as Ruud van Nistelrooy saw six goals in his first half as interim manager.

The game has had no shortage of flair as United attacked from the start, as Van Nistelrooy promised his side would.

Casemiro opened the scoring before Garnacho made it two.

Leicester got a soft goal afterwards through some sloppy defending but United weren’t finished their first-half scoring spree just yet.

First goal of the season for Bruno Fernandes

Bruno Fernandes’ free kick took a lucky deflection into the net. That was before Casemiro got his second of the night after ghosting a rebounded effort into the back of the net.

WHAT A GAME AT OLD TRAFFORD! 🤩

United still need to defend their lead after showing multiple times they’re incapable of doing so this season.

However, this is a new era under Van Nistelrooy.

We should enjoy it while it lasts.
