The two forwards got badly-needed goals to earn the Red Devils a fourth victory of the season over the hapless Foxes
Rasmus Hojlund gave Manchester United a long-awaited reminder of his inner striker's prowess while Alejandro Garnacho also ended a long wait for a goal as the Red Devils earned a confidence-boosting 3-0 win at struggling Leicester City on Sunday. Hojlund produced a confident and lethal finish into the far bottom corner to put United in front in the first half, striking for the first time in 21 games in all competitions and for the first time since December.
Garnacho, who had last scored against Bodo/Glimt in November, ended his own goal drought to put the result to bed in the second half, after having had a goal ruled out offside a few moments before. Bruno Fernandes had set up both goals and capped yet another fine individual display by scoring an impressive third goal in added time.
It was not all good news for United though, as the 19-year-old Ayden Heaven suffered an agonising injury in what was an excellent first Premier League start. He had to be carried off on a stretcher and Ruben Amorim was seen shaking his head as he digested the latest in a long line of injuries since the start of February.
