Alejandro Garnacho has doubled Manchester United’s lead in the first half againstLeicester City.
It was an unbelievable finish after an equally as good cross from Diogo Dalot, showing what he can do in the final third to hurt teams.
United have been on the front foot since the beginning of the match and they deserve their lead which came from a Casemiro opener.
Garnacho waited for the low cross before slamming home a delightful finish in front of the Old Trafford faithful.

They’ve looked free to express themselves, especially with crosses into the box with two men up front. That has created issues for Leicester in this fourth-round fixture.
There was a chance shortly after for United to make it 3-0 through Bruno Fernandes, but Leicester City pulled one back instead.
It was only a matter of time before Fernandes made it 3-1.
