Amad Diallo once again served as an inspiration and provided the assist for Bruno Fernandes scored another historic goal. Amad won the throw-in that got Manchester United up the field with the breakaway, and then gave Fernandes a beautiful backheel to smash the ball wonderfully. Although the shot could have been saved, the standard of the play outweighed the goalkeeping.

Prior to it, United had appeared to be a team scoring nine goals over ten league games. The bulk of United's attacking action will come down the right, and Rashford had a rough start. Instead of starting from his usual position on the right, Amad Diallo produced that goal from the left.

Within forty minutes, United held a two-goal lead after Bruno Fernandes scored once more. Fernandes landed on the end of a ball that Noussair Mazraoui delivered into the box, but the replays indicated that his header touched Kristiansen, thus it will be recorded as an own goal.

How have Manchester United and Lecester fared this season?

The Red Devils' Premier League match against Leicester City on Sunday marked the end of the short Ruud van Nistelrooy tenure at Manchester United. The team's former striker has subsequently managed a 1-1 draw with Chelsea and a victory against PAOK during the UEFA Europa League. The Dutchman's interim tenure as manager started with a resounding victory against the Foxes during the Carabao Cup.

Manchester United won 2-0 on Thursday, their first victory in the league season, thanks to two goals from Amad Diallo. Even if Manchester United wins here, Ruben Amorim is unlikely to inherit a squad in the top half of the standings, and the point they earned versus the Blues this past Sunday contributed little to improve their Premier League place.

They are playing Leicester City, who are currently in 15th place in the top division after a respectable run of play and who they crushed 5-2 in the Carabao Cup. Following a 1-1 tie at Portman Road last weekend, Steve Cooper's team enters this match fresh off back-to-back victories last month.
