00:00Rich Fay here from Manchester World where Manchester United kick-started
00:04Ruud van Nistelrooy's interim regime with a 5-2 victory over Leicester City in the
00:09Carabao Cup but it was quite a silly game of football in the end we saw six
00:13first-half goals Manchester United the deserved winners by full-time in a match
00:18in which they attacked of freedom and they're probably a little too free at
00:21the back as well. Van Nistelrooy who knows how long he'll be in charge here at Old
00:26Trafford United still working on a deal to appoint Ruben Amarim the sporting
00:31boss to become their new head coach that is still ongoing who knows when that
00:37will be it will be Ruud van Nistelrooy who holds the pre-match press conference
00:41ahead of the Premier League clash with Chelsea this weekend. Ruben Amarim could
00:48take charge but he also could not we will bring you all the latest on that
00:51anyway on Manchester World but as for the game tonight well van Nistelrooy made
00:55four changes in the team that played in ten hogs final match in charge against
01:00West Ham at the weekend Altai Bayende, Victor Lindelof, Manuel Llugati and Joshua
01:05Zerzi all came in from the start it was Casemiro though who stole the show
01:09really a standout performance from him he scored a brace the first of which was
01:12a stunner from 30 yards to give United a lead. United's second came when Diogo
01:18Dalo crossed towards the back post and Alejandro Garnacho fired in to make it
01:222-0. United had a third, Bruno Fernandes free kick was deflected in and
01:28Casemiro also got his second when a header from Rashford Cross hit both
01:34posts fell to him from a couple of yards out and he smashed it into the back of the net.
01:38Leicester though well they had hit back when it was 3-0 so when it was 2-0
01:43they cut the lead back a fantastic goal at the Stretford end that Bayende
01:48had flapped at initially but he couldn't do anything about the finish and then
01:50Conor Cody on the stroke of half time made it 4-2. United could have been
01:56more comfortable they could have scored 5-6 in all honesty in that first half
01:59instead it was only 4-2. After the break Leicester were the improved team
02:03initially but a poor back pass was capitalised on by Bruno Fernandes he
02:07took the ball past Danny Ward walked up to the goal mouth and smashed the ball
02:11into the back of the net. There weren't opportunities, Amadou Diallo sent an
02:15acrobatic overhead kick just wide of the far post, Samare cannoned a shot off
02:20the crossbar. Ethan Wheatley featured from the bench but in all honesty there was
02:25very little he could do on a night when United already had things sewed up. They are
02:29into the quarterfinals of the Carabao Cup they're dreaming of another trophy
02:33it won't be Eric ten Haag though who will be the man to guide them if they
02:37get to Wembley it probably won't be Ruud van Nistelrooy either. His interim period
02:41well it might have began and ended tonight all we know is it began with a
02:45win, full-time World Trafford, Manchester United 5, Leicester City 2.
