Manchester United Crush Leicester City 5-2 to Reach EFL Cup Quarter-Finals
Manchester United advanced to the EFL Cup quarter-finals with a confident 5-2 win over Leicester City, marking a successful debut for Ruud van Nistelrooy as interim manager following Erik ten Hag’s dismissal. The victory at Old Trafford saw United deliver a dominant performance, bolstered by Casemiro’s brace and Bruno Fernandes’ double.
Casemiro and Garnacho Set the Tone
The Red Devils took control early, with Casemiro’s powerful long-range strike into the top-right corner putting them ahead just 15 minutes in. Alejandro Garnacho then added to the scoreline in the 28th minute, heading in a cross from Diogo Dalot to double United’s lead. Although Leicester’s Bilal El Khannouss reduced the deficit in the 33rd minute, Bruno Fernandes’ deflected free-kick soon restored United’s two-goal advantage.
Second-Half Control Seals United’s Victory
United maintained their pressure, and Casemiro capitalized on a rebound for his second goal. Leicester struck back once more just before half-time through Conor Coady, but Fernandes rounded off the scoring in the 62nd minute, pouncing on a misjudged back pass to beat Danny Ward and secure United’s progress.
