Manchester United Advances to League Cup Quarter-finals

Ruud van Nistelrooy kicked off his interim management of Manchester United with a commanding 5-2 victory over Leicester, securing a spot in the League Cup quarter-finals. This match marked a notable rebound for United following the dismissal of Erik ten Hag after a poor start to the season. Sporting Lisbon's Ruben Amorim is the front-runner to take over as permanent manager, with negotiations ongoing regarding compensation. Van Nistelrooy praised the team's performance, particularly highlighting Casemiro's stunning goals and the overall teamwork that contributed to scoring four times in the first half. Meanwhile, Manchester City faced elimination against Tottenham, who advanced after a 2-1 win. Arsenal and Liverpool also progressed to the next round, while Chelsea fell to Newcastle 2-0.
