EASY DOES IT

HOW Manchester United must wish they could play Leicester every week.

- By David McDonnell

They have faced the Foxes four times this season twice in the Premier League, the FA Cup and EFL Cup and been victorious on every occasion.

Yet not every opponent is as obliging as Leicester, who were the perfect cannon fodder for United as they continued their revival under Ruben Amorim.

Rasmus Hojlund ended his 21-game goal drought, with further strikes from Alejandro Garnacho his first in 25 matches and captain Bruno Fernandes, with his obligatory man-of-the-match display, sealing the win.

Hojlund had gone 22 hours and 19 minutes without a goal, but showed supreme composure in producing a clinical first-half finish, which set the tone for a comfortable United win.
