Man United signed off Ruud van Nistelrooy’s temporary stint in charge with a 3-0 win over Leicester on Sunday.
Ruben Amorim will be in charge for the first time when United return 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 Man 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.
Man United remain down in 13th but are now just three points off fifth in a congested table.
