Manchester United Win 3-0 Against Leicester, Looking Toward A Future Under Amorim
MANCHESTER, England — A new era begins for Manchester United with a dominant performance against Leicester City, winning 3-0 in their last outing before Ruben Amorim took over as coach. The team, who now have a four-game unbeaten run in all competitions, have enjoyed a surge in form under caretaker coach Ruud van Nistelrooy. Amorim, who has completed his notice period at Sporting Lisbon, will officially take charge of the team on Monday. He inherits a group that appears to be on a positive trajectory, far removed from the turbulence that led to the dismissal of Erik ten Hag late last month. Van Nistelrooy’s management undoubtedly played a key role in this turnaround. Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest fell to third place after a 3-1 home defeat to Newcastle. In other fixtures, Ipswich Town celebrated their first league win this season with a 2-1 scoreline against Tottenham.
