WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

<p>While United try and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-om/lists/man-utd-ruben-amorim-sporting-cp-erik-ten-hag-premier-league/blt1692255b89292163" target="_blank">recruit Sporting CP boss Ruben Amorim </a>as Ten Hag's successor, this impressive victory over the Foxes will have lifted the mood around Old Trafford. However, sacking Ten Hag is unlikely to solve all the club's problems and they could be brought back down to earth with a defeat this weekend. Plus, they are languishing down in 14th in the table.</p>
