Man Utd player ratings vs Leicester City: Van Nistelrooy's night to remember! Ruud's Red Devils run riot as Casemiro rolls back the years & Bruno Fernandes finds goal-scoring form in Carabao Cup clash

Altay Bayindir (6/10):

Poor punch led to El Khannouss' goal, but made up for it with a superb save to tip Soumare's second-half strike onto the crossbar. Did look comfortable with the ball at his feet.

Diogo Dalot (6/10):

Good run in behind to set up Garnacho's strike, but will feel he should have done better in getting rid of the cross that eventually led to Coady scoring before half-time.

Matthijs de Ligt (7/10):

A physical presence in defence as he marshalled the United backline well.

Victor Lindelof (6/10):

Recovered from a shaky early period to look comfortable on a rare start in central defence.

Lisandro Martinez (7/10):

Again utilised at left-back and stood up admirably, especially early in the second half when Justin was running wild down the Leicester right.

Manuel Ugarte (7/10):

Broke play up effectively in midfield before giving the ball to the more gifted players to cause havoc in attack.

Casemiro (9/10):

Put on an absolute clinic. Stunning strike opened the scoring and controlled his finish well for his second. Covered every blade of grass, with his only blemish a header he sent wide when he should have got his hat-trick.

Bruno Fernandes (8/10):

Fortunate to see his free-kick deflect in off Justin to open his account for the campaign, but it did give him the confidence he needed. Showed good awareness to latch onto Okoli's poor back-pass for the fifth.

Marcus Rashford (6/10):

A quiet night given the attacking success United had, but didn't do much wrong either. Given the final half-hour off.

Joshua Zirkzee (4/10):

Just doesn't look cut out for this level right now. Misplaced a number of passes and wasted good attacking opportunities with poor touches.

Alejandro Garnacho (7/10):

Got his goal early on and caused plenty of problems down the left. Perhaps needs to do more defensively as he regularly allowed Justin to get in behind him to create chances.

Noussair Mazraoui (6/10):

Solid after replacing Martinez for the final 30 minutes.

Amad Diallo (7/10):

Almost scored an outrageous overhead-kick with his first touch and was a constant menace with his quick feet and direct dribbling.

Jonny Evans (6/10):

Gave De Ligt the final 20 minutes off.

Rasmus Hojlund (6/10):

Didn't get any sights of goal in his 20 minutes on the pitch.

Ethan Wheatley (N/A):

Thrown on for the final five minutes.

Ruud van Nistelrooy (8/10):

He won't have been happy with some of his side's defensive lapses, but they mirrored his playing career by being clinical in front of goal. An ideal palette cleanser.
