Manchester United responded to Erik ten Hag's sacking by thrashing a weakened Leicester side 5-2 to reach the Carabao Cup quarter-finals in a convincing first game for interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy. Poor finishing was to blame for Sunday's defeat to West Ham, Ten Hag's final match, but United rediscovered their confidence in front of goal under Van Nistelrooy, helped by Steve Cooper making nine changes ahead of Leicester's trip to Ipswich in the Premier League.
Leicester, meanwhile, clearly have other priorities. Van Nistelrooy: We had luck on our sideManchester United interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy: 'We scored some great goals, the first one was a beauty from Casemiro. I have to also say that we had some luck as well. 'Two posts and it comes to Casemiro's feet and Bruno's free-kick is deflected and it's in, but it's the first one for him after a long time so I'm so happy for him that he's on the scoresheet twice.
