With a comfortable victory at a mutely unlikely Leicester, United extended their unbeaten streak to seven games in open play.

United scored their first goal in 28 minutes with Rasmus Hojlund’s end to a 21-game goal drought.

Alejandro Garnacho’s first goal since November was delayed due to an early offside flag for the Argentine.

However, Mads Hermansen should have prevented her from missing out on a quick shot that ensured Garnacho was not denied.

In the two meetings where United’s current manager Ruud van Nistelrooy was in charge of the Red Devils, United have won all four of their previous matches against Leicester.

Leicester are now nine points adrift of safety after losing 13 of their previous 14 league games.

Van Nistelrooy’s men also set a disappointing precedent by becoming the first Premier League team to play seven games away from home without scoring.
