With a brace against Leicester, Bruno Fernandes was given a score of 9.4 by Sofascore – the highest in the match. In contrast to his previous erratic form, Fernandes scored a brace against Leicester City right after Erik ten Hag was fired.
In addition to scoring two goals against Leicester, Fernandes also made four passes that created good chances, with an 86% pass accuracy, and left behind a series of quality touches. It seems that Fernandes has found his inspiration to play football again under the guidance of interim coach Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Casemiro is definitely worth mentioning. He was given 8.8 points by Sofa Score – the second highest in the match, only behind Fernandes. Casemiro’s first goal was a beautiful long-range shot. After that, he continued to play brilliantly with a double in the first half.
In addition, Casemiro also contributed to the defensive front when he made 4 clearances, blocked 3 shots and made 2 tackles. A rare match where Casemiro exploded in terms of scoring and defending.
While the players were playing brilliantly, on the sidelines, MU fans continuously sang Ruud van Nistelrooy’s name. This is not too difficult to understand when the team played so attractively and scored many goals.
Although it is not known how long he will be MU’s interim coach, Van Nistelrooy is ready to devote himself to the club. Van Nistelrooy himself said before the match: “Even though it is only an interim position, I still consider it a great honor to lead the team I love.”
