Big result for us considering Leicester has always been a pain for the big clubs . We needed a gritty performance from the team . Attacking wise we were sub par but we stuck in and got a hard earned clean sheet .

 

[TMDaines]

Real sloppy, but we didn’t give much away despite soaking up a lot of pressure. Leicester away is a tough game, so I would take the three points with a poorer performance everytime.

We played far better against Burnley and didn’t get the rewards.

The Ole train drives on.

 

[AndyJ1985]

Glad we got the 3 points, but it's worrying that we're still playing like a group of brain dead morons. Hopefully it's just one of those days.

We need to get serious about weeding out the rubbish from this squad. Sanchez, Young and Matic are so bad

 

[Cloud7]

Come on. He needs games to get back into form. There’s still a great player in him.

He’ll be retired and we’ll be saying that there’s still a great player in him and he just needs some games.

 

[J_XO]

Sub par performance but I'll take it especially when playing these game raisers. Let's hope Arse drop points today

 

[redom]

Got to be a bit of a worry that our performances are tanking at the moment, you can only get away with it for so long and we need to see a marked improvement if we want to stay in the hunt for top 4.

 

[Dosse]

People calling this terrible. I call it a hard fought 3 points. We are not the first, or the last top team to struggle away to Leicester.

 

[Jacob]

Extremely scrappy win. Young , Sanchez and Lingard really terrible today.

Young was far from terrible. Made loads of recoveries and smart interceptions.

 

[minoo-utd]

Not the greatest win but 3 points that what matters in games like these, Thank God Lecister were poor at the front.

Our midfielders trio were extremely tired, and it's really worrying because we have no backup.

 

[acnumber9]

Very reminiscent of how we played large parts of last season. If Pogba doesn’t create then we don’t create. We’re so incredibly reliant on him. A good win in a tricky game though.

 

[Cpt Negative]

Special mention to Mike Dean who managed to find 8 yellow cards in that game

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

No chance by the way does Sanchez deserve to be the lowest rated player today.

Young and Lingard were worse for a start.

 

[fergosaurus]

Not a good performance but three points is all that matters. Good response from the team after dropping their first points under Ole. Grinding out wins when not playing well is a good sign for our top four chances.

 

[11101]

Worrying that we can not rely on a single one of our squad players.

 

[RedDevil-85]

Huge win.
Back on track,3 points in the bag and a clean sheet.

 

[Schmeichel's Cartwheel]

Ugly. But I will take ugly.

what is clear is that the right side of our team desperately needs a refresh. Lingard is not the answer. Young needs to move on.

If Fred couldn’t get on today, he needs to start worrying.

He's wank. Herrera is miles better, Matic is more experienced and less likely to do something stupid. Wasting 50m on him while leaving our RW and CBs in the state they are is proof that the board were right not to back Jose.

 

[madzo2007]

Fairly solid performance, we weren't really under pressure at any stage mostly because Leicester are quite toothless up front. Lindelof and Bailly done well but a moment of quality from Pogba & Rashford enough in the end

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

Wins a win but that was a horrible performance in the 2nd half.

I hope Ole and the coaching staff go right through this lot as they definitely need a well deserved kick up the backside. Wasn’t for De Gea in goals, we wouldn’t have won that.

 

[Dec9003]

3 points, take it and run.
We're not going to destroy sides every week, and we have a worrying lack of options to change a game; but we keep picking up points.
Young, Alexis both probably shouldn't be at the club next season, we wasted this January really.
I think we defended well today though, and I didn't think Leicester would get one as the match went on.

 

[Halftrack]

Herrera... been horrendous.

What?

 

[Hugh Jass]

We were absolutely wrecked at the end. Pogba and Young could barely run.

Thought the defense was excellent today. The MF was good too. Herrera was man of the match for me. Attack was disjointed. Rashford looked very tired.

Our final ball was sloppy today. Players need a huge rest.

 

[peridigm]

Safe to say Sanchez has zero chemistry with the rest of the squad. He works hard but others seem to ignore him.

 

[Andersons Dietician]

Gave the ball away all over the ship, Lingard was awful, Rashford after his goal didn’t seem involved, Sanchez had and tried some nice things but nothing came off for him, not sure what was happening in midfield but it seemed lethargic, Young didn’t seem like he fancied defending and the only ones that seemed like they knew they were playing were Bailly, DeGea, Lindelof and Shaw.

 

[Asger]

Surely there must be some clause in Sanchez’ contract that we can fire him after a performance that bad?

Wasn't worse than Lingard.

 

[Alemar]

De Gea as a MotM today. Pogba, Shaw and Rashford also very decent, rest played average to below average. The only exception is Young who looked abysmal.

Matic definitely needs a rest, made too many mistakes in the second half, fatigue is getting him...

 

[Robbo's Shoulder]

3 very good points. Not fluent at all and by far the poorest performance under Ole but the team did show resilience and a will to win which can't be ignored. Too many current players just aren't at a standard required by a team such as Manchester United. It will take time to get back to the top.

 

[BlahRules]

We need a proper right back and right winger. We cannot switch to the other side when teams are pressing.

 

[Abhinav]

Horrible performance. Leicester were there for the taking but our players were too scared to go out and play in the second half. I thought the subs were also not quite there as Lingard should have been one to be hooked off rather than Alexis. However, its better to be lucky and win than be good and lose.

 

[The Firestarter]

Our inability to keep possession for more than 10 seconds is the most worrying.

 

[Jazz]

Scrappy but we got through it. Some games are like this. I suspect the anxiety came from being close to top four and not wanting to lose anymore points. In those circumstances you really have to hold your nerve.

We know what we need for next season though. RB the first thing we look at.

Otherwise, thank God for Dave and the 3 points.

 

[Fracture90]

Important 3 points but not a good performance. Sloppy, careless, tired…

I'm worried that after the first few weeks we seem to be drifting further away from possession based, attacking football, we seem to be resorting to hoofball more and more. I'd like to think that's down to fatigue stepping in but I'm curious how much of the attacking possession based football early on was down to McCarrick, since Ole himself said he haven't had much time to make his own adjustments early on.

 

[Sandikan]

We were absolutely wrecked at the end. Pogba and Young could barely run.

Thought the defense was excellent today. The MF was good too. Herrera was man of the match for me. Attack was disjointed. Rashford looked very tired.

Our final ball was sloppy today. Players need a huge rest.

Aside from that 92nd min powerhouse run that relieved loads of pressure from Pogba?

 

[amolbhatia50k]

Great result.

Worrying performance.

Pogba and Rashford did well for the goal.

Sanchez isn't good enough anymore and we need to get rid. Martial is so far ahead of him, I can't even say that's a good thing.

In fact both wings were poor. Lingard did sod all as well.

For some reason we got bossed completely by Leicester after the half our mark. We just didn't have the quality to play our football and pin them back. The way they attacked our fullbacks was not ideal.

Ole has done a terrific job for us to be just 2 off 4th.

 

[Random Task]

Another tricky encounter safely negotiated and another three points earned.

Leicester put in a top performance against Liverpool the other night and came away with a deserved point (they could have had all three in truth) and they put a similarly strong performance in against us. But we held on and were reasonably good value for the win considering how few chances they created.

 

[Zlaatan]

Our first poor performance under Ole, especially our passing play which was terrible but we still got the W so lets just put it behind us and look forward.

 

[R'hllor]

Good 3 pts but its not good enough, few times we looked like Sunday league team with Sunday league team mentality and thats not acceptable. Subs coming late i think, Ole waiting with reaction way to long for my liking.

 

[cyril C]

Our captain is the worse.

Don't know why you pick on Young. Sanchez was the worse, Lingard disappear after 60th. Matic slept between 46-50 but made up for his error afterwards. Young put in fair share of effort. Only Pogba and Herrera were fighting from start to finish.

 

[siw2007]

Decent first half but second half was really poor. Lacked any intensity and a lot of wayward passes and bad decisions. Fortunately we grounded out a win against a side that has a good record against some of the top sides this season.

Thought Luke Shaw was outstanding today. My Motm.

 

[SqueakyWeasel]

Rode our luck, but this is at the very most a draw under Jose. Who I believe infiltrated the MDT begging for McTomminay at one point

Onwards … and for the first time "UPWARDS"!

 

[DomesticTadpole]

looked tired but defended well. Huge win. Huge 3 points.

Think they will be tired because Ole now realises that he cannot rotate much. Just doesn't have decent options to come in.

 

[Florida Man]

We’re not always going to blow opposition away, that’s fine.

Pogba had a pretty bad game though.

I think that tackle on him by Evans hurt him enough to put him off his game. Just didn’t seem right after that.

 

[The Firestarter]

Young was far from terrible. Made loads of recoveries and smart interceptions.

Are you his cousin?

 

[hobbers]

Absolutely woeful performance from most of the players.

Lingard and Young had absolute shockers. Looked like kids playing with adults. Matic was back to his clumsy lumbering worst that we saw under Mourinho.

Shaw, Matic, Lingard and Young played so many "hospital" passes throughout the game it was really impossible to string any sort of attack together.

Pogba and Rashford were amazing for the goal, but their decision making the rest of the game was pretty dire as well.

De Gea, Bailly and Lindelof come out with credit. Herrera once again ran himself into the ground trying to cover for Young and Matic's inadequacies.
