After a number of losses, Manchester United finally wins the Carabao Cup under new manager Ruud van Nistelrooy. Manchester United are going against Leicester City at Old Trafford (30/10), hoping for a good outcome with a new youthful caretaker and a Manchester United legend competing in the round of 16 Carabao Cup. Few expect Manchester United will do much with the same squad and Ruud already in place as assistant manager before Ten Hag departs as a manager. but after the match Ruud prove them wrong.

Manchester United emerged with a 5-2 victory over Leicester City, securing their place in the quarter-finals of the 2024/2025 Carabao Cup. Casemiro scored two goals in the minutes 15’ and 39’, while Bruno Fernandes also contributed a brace at 36’ and 59’. Alexandro Garnaucho also score a goal at 28’. Meanwhile, Leicester City could only respond through Bilal El Khannous in minute 33’, and Conor Coady at the end of the first half (45+3’).

This result brings Manchester United face to face with Tottenham Hotspur in the quarter-finals of the tournament. Amidst this success, the club is also moving quickly to recruit a new manager, Ruben Amorim, who is currently coaching Sporting Lisbon. Negotiations between both parties are proceeding smoothly, but there is an obstacle regarding the notice period in Amorim's contract. This condition has the potential to delay the debut of the Portuguese coach.

Before heading to England, Ruben Amorim will face an crucial match with Sporting Lisbon vs Manchester City, which is city rival of Manchester United, in the fourth week of the UEFA Champions League group stage. This match poses a significant challenge for Amorim before he officially joins the "Red Devils." United hopes his presence can bring stability and positive change to the club, which is currently seeking consistency in various competitions.
