Ruud Van Nistelrooy saw his interim game in charge in convincing fashion as the Reds comfortably swept aside Leicester City at Old Trafford. A man-of-the-match performance from Casemiro saw him land a brace alongside Bruno Fernandes and another from Alejandro Garnacho. It was a welcome lift of the recent gloom over the club, which led to the departure of Erik ten Hag. It was a chastening experience from the visitors though who had arrived hoping for an upset.

It is the third draw in a row for Manchester United as they gave up a lead yet again to draw tonight. Leading at half-time thanks to a splendid effort from Christian Eriksen, they almost immediately surrendered it. Although generally solid in defence, they failed to inspire in attack against limited opposition. The home side will be happier of the two at the end.

A second-half turnaround for United eased the strain on under-fire manager Erik Ten Hag at Old Trafford today. Trailing to a goal at the break, goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund flipped it on its head. Only the third win of the season which needs to be improved on going forward. It was back to earth for the visitors who were praised for recent performances. They struck for the lead on the stroke of half-time but were unable to maintain it for long.

Philip Morrissey Sat, Oct 19 2024It was a party for Cork City as they celebrated receiving the First Division trophy with a comprehensive win against Wexford on Friday night. Already three up at the break, they added another three in the second half to the delight of their fans. They can now begin planning in advance for the Premier Division next year. It was a sobering experience for the visitors, though, who had travelled south on the back of an impressive run.

Harry Maguire rescued a point from a game Manchester United had been in charge of tonight in Portugal. Leading two-nil through Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund, they suffered a collapse to go behind early in the second half. The loss of Rashford to injury and Bruno Fernandes to a red card threatened to pile increasing pressure on Ten Hag before the late showing. Porto will be wondering just how they managed to come out of the game without a win though.
