00:00Manchester United were calling another win in the Premier League

00:04with a 3-0 victory at away at Leicester City on Sunday night.

00:08It was a day in which Bruno Fernandes was brilliant once again.

00:12Two goals and an assist for him as Rasmus Cuylens and Alejandro Barnacho

00:18both courted and did their goal droughts for United.

00:21The away fans were in fine voice throughout the occasion here.

00:25It was a fine away day for United.

00:27A rarity really this season where the performance has matched that

00:31off the pitch from the away supporters.

00:33And yeah, United never looked in doubt of losing this one.

00:35Andre Onana had to make a couple of decent saves to deny Jamie Vardy.

00:39But United's side made three changes from the win over Arsenal in midweek.

00:44Thoroughly deserved the three points here at the King Power Stadium.

00:48Aidan Heflin with another fine performance in the party

00:51and that led to defence before he was taken off

00:53only a couple of minutes into the second half restart after a horrible injury.

00:57He was stretched off here.

00:58A real negative.

00:59One of the only negatives for United in the East Midlands.

01:03Rasmus Cuylens finally ended that goal drought 22 hours and 12 minutes.

01:07He was played for on goal by Bruno Fernandes.

01:09And a smart finish into the bottom corner.

01:11It was the type of finish that suggested that maybe it's the service

01:14that's been the problem for Cuylens this season rather than his own issues.

01:18His 21st game without a goal ended with only his 21st shot during that period of time.

01:24That does tell you that he's got all those raw attributes required

01:27that just didn't quite click for him.

01:29And United went in 1-0 up at half time.

01:33They could have had a second.

01:34Alejandro Garnacho had a goal disallowed because of offside.

01:38But only a few moments later, they did have a second.

01:40Garnacho again, he'd been played through by Fernandes in the box.

01:44And a good finish in at the near post.

01:46To wrap it up for United really.

01:48Leicester put up a bit of a fight.

01:50They were looking for that consolation goal.

01:52Way back into it.

01:53But United were to go and get a third.

01:56Right at the death, this time Diogo Dalot raced down the right wing.

02:00Cut the ball back.

02:01And Fernandes fired it from the edge of the box.

02:03It was another brilliant performance from him.

02:05Two assists and a goal.

02:07He was excellent against Real Sociedad.

02:09He's been excellent again here tonight.

02:11And the question has always been, where will he fit in?

02:13Where would he fit in a 10-mark team?

02:15Where would he fit in in an Amerem team?

02:17The fact is, he is the team.

02:18He's the heartbeat of that side.

02:20And without him, United are so much worse off.

02:22Of course, it's not in the season they want.

02:24But as their away fans were singing about their upcoming trip to Bilbao.

02:27Well, who knows?

02:28United could yet finish lower.

02:30Not on the table. 12th or 11th.

02:33And they could, of course, win the Europa League.

02:35That would give them the passage back to the Champions League.

02:38And if it's a totalisation this weekend, it's that Garnacho and Hoyden score goals.

02:41Newcastle will win major trophies.

02:43Why can't Manchester United qualify for the Champions League?

02:46Full time from the King's Cross Stadium.

02:48Leicester 0-0.

02:49Manchester United 3.
