The United captain marওked his 250th appearance for the club with a goal and an assist in their 3-0 victory, also forcing Victor Kristiansen into&nඣbsp;an own goal in the first half.

He has now been directly i𝓰nvolved in 100 goals in 170 appearances for United in the Premier League, reaching this milestone with just one more appearance than Cristiano Ronaldo (169) did.

Having gone unbeaten in their four games in all competitions under interim coach Ruud van Nistelrooy after Erik ten Hag's dep🍨arture last month, United are now prep๊aring for the arrival of new boss Amorim on Monday.

Fernandes waꦍs happy to help Van Nistelrooy sign🐈 off with a win and is hopeful that United can kick on under their new coach.

"It was a long time that I wasn't scoring and now goals are coming in the last few games," Fernandes𝐆 said.

"Another clean sheet was important for us to bring back the fort൩ress we had here. We have to keep doing that and we have to i🌠mprove.

"Ruud van Nistelrooy fills the club, he loves the club, he wants tꦑo bring joy to the players. He brought everyone with a smile to the games, he just wanted us to enjoy 🍎it. We wanted to say goodbye as a manager for him properly because he did good things for us.

"It's a new er෴a, a new manager means everything changes, but what hasn't changed is that this club has to get b🐬ack to where it belongs."

Leicester failed to score in a Premier League match 🍸for the first time this season, despite an improved sec🌳ond-half performance.

This defeat means they have won just two of their 11 league matches this season (D4 L5), only having fewer wins at this s😼tage of a single Premier League campaign on one occasi🐻on (one in 2001-02).

They had a big chance in either half, with Andre Onana making fine stops to keep out Wilfried Ndi🐽di and Jordan Ayew as Leicester struggled to show their usual attacking threat in Jamie Vardy's absence.

But Steve Cooper was not using that ✤as an excuse for thꦍeir performance on Sunday.

"The result will paint the picture but, in the end, we didn't show enough desire in either penalty area. We let two unopposed shotℱs from outside the area for the goals," Cooper said.

"Two of the goals have co🐈🍌me from our corners as well, which is frustrating. It wasn't a dangerous position, but we made it dangerous. At the other end, we got into good areas but didn't show that same desire.

"Our general play was fine but, in the end, we didn't have the purpose. We had good spells, we were in the game, it didn't feel like they were going to score ꦗthe next goal.

"We can't just say we missed Jamie Vardy; we can't be relia🦂nt on that."
