As Leicester were defeated 5-2 at Old Trafford on Wednesday, Ruud van Nistelrooy’s caretaker team won the league cup quarter-finals thanks to a strong start to his successful tenure as manager of Manchester United.

Chelsea were among the other teams to advance to the last eight after defeating Newcastle 2-0. Arsenal and Liverpool were also in contention.

After the Red Devils fired Erik ten Hag on Monday, Van Nistelrooy was sworn in as interim manager following a terrible start to the season. He was a former United player.

Ruben Amorim, the English giants’ manager, is in talks with Portugal’s champions to agree compensation for the 39-year-old.

Before moving to Sporting during the November international break, Amorim is expected to play for the next three matches.

Van Nistelrooy said before the game that United “can be unstoppable” when “players, staff and supporters pull together” and they cut loose by scoring four times in a thrilling first 45 minutes.

Before Alejandro Garnacho swept home Diogo Dalot’s cross in the top corner to a jubilant Van Nistelrooy on the touchline, Casemiro’s stunning effort into the top corner opened the scoring.

The Foxes quickly won the game thanks to Bilal El Khannoussi’s quickly changed goal.

Before Casemiro scored his third goal in two games, Bruno Fernandes’ deflected free-kick gave United the lead.

Leicester were given yet another consolation by Conor Coady, but United were still given a second win in nine games.

When Fernandes capitalized on a quick backpass to round Danny Ward and fire home, the scoring came to an end.

&nbsp, Gakpo leads Liverpool

In a 3-2 victory over Brighton, Cody Gakpo’s side continued Arne Slot’s excellent start to life with the Reds.

Gakpo has now scored four goals in two League Cup games despite not scoring in either the Premier League or Champions League this season.

With two decisive left-winged strikes, the Dutch international ruthlessly slammed into his right foot.

Liverpool’s Luis Diaz and Simon Adingra both scored late goals for Brighton, respectively.

As Arsenal eased to a 3-0 victory over Preston at the top of the championship, Ethan Nwaneri’s debut strike caught the eye with a sensational strike.

The Gunners also had the other goals scored by Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz.

Newcastle’s Premier League defeat at Chelsea at the weekend relieved manager Eddie Howe of the pressure.

The Saudi-backed Magpies are winless in five in the league, but are desperate to end a 55-year wait to win a major trophy.

At St. James’ Park, Alexander Isak’s strike and Axel Disasi’s own goal in the final three minutes of play were decisive.

Eberechi Eze and Daichi Kamada scored the goals that gave Crystal Palace their first Premier League victory of the season on Sunday, extending their lead over Aston Villa.
