Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes played a role in two goals and netted his side’s third as they overcame Leicester City 3-0.
Rasmus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho also ended their goal droughts as United were comfortable winners at the King Power Stadium.
Leicester had failed to score in their previous five games coming into the tie and striker Jamie Vardy lacked sharpness as he steered a fourth-minute effort at goalkeeper Andre Onana.
United took hold of the first half with Christian Eriksen rattling the post with a curling effort before Garnacho ran through on goal and drilled his effort low into the net.
Garnacho was also looking to end his goal drought and saw a second-half effort chalked off by a very late off-side flag.
However, moments later Fernandes’ pass was deflected into his path to score United’s second goal.
Leicester pushed for a way back into the game but were met by a stubborn defence as Matthijs de Ligt rescued his side to deny Facundo Buonanotte.
United finished the evening in style with Fernandes curling home his side’s third goal.
The only dampener on the victory was the injury to teenage defender Ayden Heaven who was stretchered off the pitch following a first-half challenge.
