Manchester United Cruise Past Leicester in a Commanding 3-0 Victory
First and foremost, all eyes were on Rasmus Højlund. The young striker had been struggling for form, enduring a painful 21-game goal drought. But tonight, that all changed. In the 28th minute, Højlund capitalized on a defensive error from Leicester, keeping his composure to slot home a crucial opener. You could see the relief and joy in his celebration—this was a moment he had been waiting for.
United kept pressing, and while Leicester showed glimpses of fight, it was Alejandro Garnacho who doubled the lead in the 67th minute. The Argentine had a goal ruled out earlier but made sure this one counted, taking full advantage of a precise pass from Bruno Fernandes. The captain, once again, proved why he is the heartbeat of this United side, pulling the strings in midfield and providing the creative spark.

And then, to cap it all off, Bruno Fernandes delivered a stunning finish in the 90th minute. After assisting the first two goals, he got on the scoresheet himself, curling a brilliant shot past the Leicester keeper to seal the victory.
Despite the commanding win, United were left concerned over a potential injury to young defender Ayden Heaven, who was forced off early in the second half. His determination had been a bright spot in recent weeks, and fans will hope it’s nothing serious.
For Leicester, the defeat only deepens their struggles. Sitting 19th in the table and nine points from safety, their fight to stay in the Premier League looks increasingly desperate. Despite some attacking intent, they failed to register a goal—marking a woeful seven straight home games without scoring. Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side have a mountain to climb if they hope to avoid relegation.
Meanwhile, Manchester United’s win moves them up to 13th in the table, and while their season hasn’t been ideal, performances like these give fans hope. The international break now looms, giving United a chance to regroup before they return to action.
It was a professional performance, a crucial confidence booster, and a night to remember for Rasmus Højlund. Can United build on this momentum? Only time will tell!
