At the King Power Stadium on Sunday, Manchester United crushed Leicester City 3-0 to record Ruben Amorim’s largest Premier League away victory.
When two of his players break their goal droughts against the Foxes, the head coach will be overjoyed. With a clever finish with his weaker foot, Rasmus Hojlund, who hasn’t scored a league goal in 99 days, opened the scoring.
Alejandro Garnacho also scored his first goal to break his goalless skid, while Bruno Fernandes, the captain, scored his usual goal late in the game.
As the Red Devils prepare for a busy April in which they will play Olympique Lyon in the Europa League quarterfinals, everything appears to be coming together just in time.
Heaven was wonderful.Ayden Heaven’s injury, which required him to be carried off on a stretcher during the second half, was the only unpleasant aspect of the evening.
However, the January acquisition was by far the finest defender on the field in the first half and looked fantastic on his maiden Premier League start for the 20-time English league champions.
His final tackle was a masterpiece, and he made two clearances. After senior partner Victor Lindelof’s bad performance, he quickly blocked two tries.
In addition to putting out fires caused by his more seasoned teammates, the former Arsenal prodigy displayed remarkable poise when handling the ball.
He completed 90% of his passes, including two accurate long balls, and had 53 touches of the ball. Additionally, the defender finished both of his dribbling attempts.
Heaven also made two tackles, won six duels overall, and earned two fouls for his team to ease pressure (all stats by sofascore). He is only eighteen, yet he already has the appearance of a true star.
Amorim will be devastated by his injury setback since he was a Rolls Royce at the back and the young player appeared to be solidifying his spot in the starting lineup.
Heaven appeared to be the final player fit for the left center-back position after Lisandro Martinez and Leny Yoro were sidelined. With any luck, his injury won’t be too bad and he’ll be back in United colors before the season ends.
