Manchester United extended their unbeaten run in open play to seven games with a comfortable victory at seemingly doomed Leicester.

Rasmus Hojlund ended a 21-game goal drought by firing United in front on 28 minutes.

Alejandro Garnacho was made to wait for his first goal since November as the Argentine was flagged offside early in the second half.

Garnacho, though, was not to be denied with a snap shot that Mads Hermansen should have kept out.

United have won all four meetings against Leicester this season, two of which the Foxes’ current boss Ruud van Nistelrooy was in interim charge of the Red Devils.

But the Dutchman has not had the same impact at the King Power.

Leicester have lost 13 of their last 14 league games to fall nine points adrift of safety.

Van Nistelrooy’s men also set an unwanted record of becoming the first Premier League side to go seven home games without scoring.

Bruno Fernandes unsurprisingly set the seal on United’s win with a stunning strike from the edge of the box for his seventh goal in seven games.

Flamingos of Nigeria have advanced to the final round of the U-17 Women’s World Cup qualifiers.

The team defeated South Africa 2-0 in the return leg of the second round of the qualifier at the Remo Stars stadium, Ikenne, on Saturday.

Nigeria had beaten the South African 3-1 in the first leg played in Pretoria a week ago.

Harmony Chidi, who scored a brace in the first leg victory, added to her tally in this easy win, with Aishat Animashaun also on the scoresheet as Nigeria sealed a 5-1 aggregate victory over their opponents.

The Flamingos dominated the early exchanges and created a couple of half-chances that were easily dealt with by South Africa’s goalkeeper.

The Bankole Olowookere’s side had to wait until the 37th minute for the breakthrough from Chidi, the team’s top marksman and leading goalscorer.

The 15-year-old striker finally found her way through when a well-worked free-kick was lofted to her at the back post and free-scoring Chidi planted a header into the net for a 1-0 lead maintained going into halftime.

The South Africans improved after the break but were not clinical in the final third and their hosts made them pay in the 56th minute when Animashaun saw the South African goalkeeper off her line and lifted a 20-yard chipped shot into the net to drain any fighting spirit the Batwana girls had left.

Nigeria will next face Algeria or Botswana in the third and final round of qualifying for the FIFA 2025 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup set to be held in Morocco from October 17 to November 8.

Ex- Real Madrid top striker Ronaldo Nazario has announced that he has pulled out from the race to become president of the Brazilian Football Federation, CBF.

Ronaldo had previously declared a desire to run against the current president Ednaldo Rodrigues

However, the 48-year-old has now announced that he is withdrawing from the race after consulting with football leaders in the country, as he cited “no openness to dialogue”.

Ronaldo said (via Football Espana), “After publicly declaring my desire to run for the CBF presidency in the upcoming elections, I hereby officially withdraw my intention.

“If the majority with decision-making power understands that Brazilian football is in good hands, my opinion doesn’t matter.

“In my first contact with the 27 affiliates, I found 23 doors closed. The federations refused to welcome me into their homes, arguing that they were satisfied with the current administration and supported reelection.

“I was unable to present my project, share my ideas, and have them heard as I would have liked. There was no openness to dialogue.”
