**Manchester, UK** – Manchester United, under interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, secured a resounding 5-2 victory over Leicester City in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday. The win was a much-needed boost for the Red Devils following the recent sacking of Erik ten Hag.

Van Nistelrooy highlighted Casemiro’s impressive performance, commending the midfielder for scoring two goals, including a “beauty” for the opening goal. He also acknowledged the team’s luck in securing a few goals, including a deflected free kick by Bruno Fernandez.

Despite the dominant performance, Leicester City manager Steve Cooper expressed his disappointment with the team’s mistakes. He highlighted periods where they were completely in control of the match but conceded too many chances to a counter-attacking United side.

**Casemiro’s Double Strike Fuels United’s Win**

Casemiro’s goals came in the 15th and 39th minutes, while Bruno Fernandez added two more in the 36th and 59th minutes. Alejandro Garnacho scored United’s fifth goal, while Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady netted for Leicester.

The win for United comes after a turbulent period following their defeat against West Ham United in the Premier League. The club’s board decided to dismiss ten Hag, appointing van Nistelrooy as interim manager.

The victory will undoubtedly boost morale within the United squad, while Leicester will need to regroup and focus on avoiding similar errors in future matches.
