MANCHESTER United signed off Ruud van Nistelrooy’s temporary stint in charge with a 3-0 win over Leicester on Sunday as Ipswich stunned Tottenham 2-1 for their first Premier League victory in 22 years.
Third-placed Nottingham Forest’s fine run came to an end in a 3-1 home defeat to Newcastle.
Arsenal are aiming to kickstart their faltering title challenge later away at London rivals Chelsea.
Ruben Amorim will be in charge for the first time when United returns from the international break.
But Van Nistelrooy was able to hand over the reins with a four-game unbeaten run since stepping up to replace the sacked Erik ten Hag.
Bruno Fernandes marked his 250th United appearance in style by smashing in his fourth goal in four games after a neat interchange of passes with Amad Diallo.
Fernandes’ burst into the box also created the second goal as his glancing touch deflected off Leicester defender Victor Kristiansen and in for an own goal.
Diallo’s two-goal showing in a 2-0 Europa League win over PAOK on Thursday earned the Ivorian a start over Alejandro Garnacho.
The Argentine, though, came off the bench to show what he is capable of with a stunning strike into the top corner to round off the scoring.
United remain down in 13th but are now just three points off fifth in a congested table.
