00:00Manchester United were calling another win in the Premier League
00:04with a 3-0 victory at away at Leicester City on Sunday night.
00:08It was a day in which Bruno Fernandes was brilliant once again.
00:12Two goals and an assist for him as Rasmus Cuylens and Alejandro Barnacho
00:18both courted and did their goal droughts for United.
00:21The away fans were in fine voice throughout the occasion here.
00:25It was a fine away day for United.
00:27A rarity really this season where the performance has matched that
00:31off the pitch from the away supporters.
00:33And yeah, United never looked in doubt of losing this one.
00:35Andre Onana had to make a couple of decent saves to deny Jamie Vardy.
00:39But United's side made three changes from the win over Arsenal in midweek.
00:44Thoroughly deserved the three points here at the King Power Stadium.
00:48Aidan Heflin with another fine performance in the party
00:51and that led to defence before he was taken off
00:53only a couple of minutes into the second half restart after a horrible injury.
00:57He was stretched off here.
00:58A real negative.
00:59One of the only negatives for United in the East Midlands.
01:03Rasmus Cuylens finally ended that goal drought 22 hours and 12 minutes.
01:07He was played for on goal by Bruno Fernandes.
01:09And a smart finish into the bottom corner.
01:11It was the type of finish that suggested that maybe it's the service
01:14that's been the problem for Cuylens this season rather than his own issues.
01:18His 21st game without a goal ended with only his 21st shot during that period of time.
01:24That does tell you that he's got all those raw attributes required
01:27that just didn't quite click for him.
01:29And United went in 1-0 up at half time.
01:33They could have had a second.
01:34Alejandro Garnacho had a goal disallowed because of offside.
01:38But only a few moments later, they did have a second.
01:40Garnacho again, he'd been played through by Fernandes in the box.
01:44And a good finish in at the near post.
01:46To wrap it up for United really.
01:48Leicester put up a bit of a fight.
01:50They were looking for that consolation goal.
01:52Way back into it.
01:53But United were to go and get a third.
01:56Right at the death, this time Diogo Dalot raced down the right wing.
02:00Cut the ball back.
02:01And Fernandes fired it from the edge of the box.
02:03It was another brilliant performance from him.
02:05Two assists and a goal.
02:07He was excellent against Real Sociedad.
02:09He's been excellent again here tonight.
02:11And the question has always been, where will he fit in?
02:13Where would he fit in a 10-mark team?
02:15Where would he fit in in an Amerem team?
02:17The fact is, he is the team.
02:18He's the heartbeat of that side.
02:20And without him, United are so much worse off.
02:22Of course, it's not in the season they want.
02:24But as their away fans were singing about their upcoming trip to Bilbao.
02:27Well, who knows?
02:28United could yet finish lower.
02:30Not on the table. 12th or 11th.
02:33And they could, of course, win the Europa League.
02:35That would give them the passage back to the Champions League.
02:38And if it's a totalisation this weekend, it's that Garnacho and Hoyden score goals.
02:41Newcastle will win major trophies.
02:43Why can't Manchester United qualify for the Champions League?
02:46Full time from the King's Cross Stadium.
02:48Leicester 0-0.
02:49Manchester United 3.
