Rasmus Hojlund ended his 21-game goal drought as Manchester United won at struggling Leicester City to push the Foxes closer to the drop.
Match Report
The Danish striker had not scored since 12 December, but seized on poor defending to claim the 28th-minute opener, before Alejandro Garnacho added a second after the break - his first goal in 24 appearances.
Bruno Fernandes added a 90th-minute third to underline United's dominance.
Victory, though, was tainted by a potential serious injury to defender Ayden Heaven, who was carried off in the 51st minute after falling awkwardly in just his second career start.
The result changed little in United's Premier League season, lifting them from 15th to 13th, but it maintained their momentum after Thursday's thumping of Real Sociedad to reach the Europa League quarter finals.
Leicester, however, look doomed to an instant return to the Championship after a 13th defeat in 14 games kept them second bottom and nine points from safety.
The Foxes become the first team in top-flight history to lose seven successive home games without scoring, having now not found the net in the league at the King Power Stadium since 8 December.
They rarely looked like ending their own drought and could have fallen behind before Hojlund's strike when Christian Eriksen's curling effort hit the post.
Hojlund did open the scoring, Fernandes' pass catching out Boubakary Soumare, while Wout Faes dithered for the striker to find the bottom corner.
There was relief too for Garnacho - who earlier had a goal disallowed for offside - when he made it 2-0 after 67 minutes when he pounced on more wretched defending.
Fernandes swept in a third from the edge of the area as United cruised to victory, while Leicester, managed by former United striker and interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy, were booed off.
