Ruud van Nistelrooy successfully debuted at the helm of Manchester United.

In the League Cup round of 16, the "Red Devils" crushed Leicester City 5:2.

Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes both scored a "double," while Alejandro Garnacho added one goal.

Interestingly, this was the first time in the last 2.5 years that Man Utd scored 5 goals against another Premier League team. Under Erik ten Hag, such a feat was never achieved.
