A much needed victory and a hard fought one. We started well, playing with energy and urgency and taking an 8th minute lead with a penalty from Marcus Rashford. We started to fade as the match went on and Leicester dominated more and more. We defended pretty well though and De Gea had few saves of note to make.

Not a vintage performance by any stretch but after a rough start to the season and a number of key injuries, this is a crucial three points for us.

I might stop watching United this year. It's starting to affect my mental health.

Win. Great.
Performance. Not.
Feared the worst after the confidence levels, form and players available. Considering Leicester created pretty much feck all, I will take the win happily

Boring game, we offered nothing. Very lucky to have 3 points.

Poor performance but 3 points are 3 points.

McT MOTM.

Poor from Matic and Pereira.

Everybody else average.

Happy with the 3 points, the performance was unacceptable. I don’t still don’t see what Ole is trying to implement.

A result that will delay the inevitable: Solskjaer getting sacked. Zero creativity and poor football. We are reliant on penalties and quality goals from James to win.

Not great, but a win is a win and given our recent run of results I'd prefer that to scintillating football that ended in a 3-3 draw.

Daylight robbery.

Fair play the defence is definitely improving. Midfield and attack an absolute travesty though.

Comfortable performance. Not high on quality. But we didn’t let Leicester create anything. Given the personnel, I am delighted.

Rodgers beaten by a 3rd team coach. The team beaten by a 3rd string team. Rodgers completely outsmarted today. No doubt about it.

We fought for a win for 90 minutes.

It wasn't pretty, but it was important we kept the clean sheet and got the 3 points.

Build from here and try to improve our midfield and attack gradually. We give the ball away too much and sometimes its far too easy to get through our midfield.

Need better service in attack. I want to see us use Gomes as I believe he is a better player than Perreira.

Workmanlike effort from the lads to finally get 3 points on the board again. Lets continue to improve.

3 points but an utterly dire watch. Be more enjoyable just looking at the result at full time.

Huge win. With Pogba and Martial out our attack was always going to suffer, but great to see how good we are defensively. Hardly troubled. 3 points against a very good team too.

Good result, bad performance. Looked completely clueless going forward and in possession really.

Worst game of the season yet ironically we get the 3 points.

Dreadful in attack. We did nothing for 90 minutes apart from penalty.

Ugly. Hardly any organisation in attack, just solo run and run and expect tom pass 3 defenders.
