Unconvincing again but a win is a win and that is what we needed today.

Good thing Ed didn't spend cash on Tielemans, people would be banging on about how he is an absolute nothing player.

McSauce MoTM.

Defended well, did everything else terribly. It can’t come as a surprise when you look at the players on the pitch. We’re no better than we were a year ago.

It's a win against a top 6 rival with a depleted squad, so I'll take it.

We are fecking joyless to watch though, and appear to be going nowhere.

We looked okay with Fred and Chong on the pitch. The only downfall is that mediocre players shoot from odd range.

We are good at times but bad at times. It's kinda weird.

Tough as expected between two evenly matched teams. Add Martial and Pogba to their team and they're a top 4 team IMO.

Not bad considering everyone expected us to get beat soundly.

A win! Not a vintage one, but a win nonetheless. Let's build some form from here.

3 points. Take it and move on. Leicester are a good side so it's an important win.

Considering the situation was a good result.

Young played very well.
Lindelof had his moments too besides the shaky start.

Dear oh dear.

Don't think either of us can be too hopeful of top 6 after that "show".

We are missing 3 starters and the depth that we want to have in attack have not featured yet. We were good defensively, and mctominay was great. Fred is back, so hopefully we don't see too much of matic. but the attack was woeful. Couldn't control anything. We really need to think about how we move forward with our right flank.

Can't turn our noses up at grinding out a win after giving points away with such profligacy. We need to be better of course but given ours injuries I'll just say well done lads on getting the three points.

Take it but just like The Southampton and wolves games went 1-0 up then went flat as a witch’s tit

The stats show who we are.

This squad is incapable of retaining the ball & consistently creating chances.

If this squad is as it is by design then I pray the Saudi’s hurry up & buy us because it is a chore to watch us.

Is this the same Leicester I've been hearing should finish above us or there's a Leicester United I haven't heard of

Terrible football.

Old Trafford was amazing with their support today.

Excellent game. We battered Leicester 1-0 with penalty kick at home.

McTominay was very very good out there
He was the only midfielder/attacker who was decent to good. But my God aren't we absolutely absymal. I really think after seeing such performances what exactly is the coaching staff doing in training? I don't even see any improvement from what we were serving up under Jose.

We literally can't play well for than 25 mins each game.

Thank God Leicester were worse than is despite Matic doing his best to help them and Ole deciding to handicap us by playing 10 against 12 again.

McTominay was good.

Andreas irritates to almost an irrational degree though. Struts around like he's quality, but fails at the basics.

Boring stuff, glad we won as I honestly didn't think we would, thought we were begging to concede an equaliser.

Definitely not our worst performance.
Defensively it was our best perfomance of the season. Did anyone notice Jamie Vardy or Demirai Gray ? Going forward we were poor - but we have a thing squad and without Martial and Pogba...well

Poor from Matic and Pereira.

Agree about Pereira, but thought Matic brought in some calmness that steadied things.

Can't fault the team for effort, We worked hard but man are we struggling to create anything.

3 points, next....

McTominay is growing into the roll, don't care who disagrees. Most played decent, Fred mildly impressed. Onto the next game

Maybe - but Andreas worked his socks off....
