Really good win that. De Gea , Rashford both hitting milestones. PL debut for Mainoo . Lot to be pleased about.

That was a terrific second half.

Rashford, Martinez and Bruno were brilliant. Great game from Lindelof as well.

Beautiful second half with some swagger. Martinez and Lindelof were brilliant at the back

That first half when we were shit and De Gea was pulling off miracles. What a change.

Excellent second half. Not sure what happened first half even though we scored. Sancho looks sharp as well.

One of the most fun games to watch this season. Leciester came to play, were very good in the first 30 then Utd found their tempo and blew them away in the second with some excellent individual performances.

Utd are good again, and it feels sustainable. Good times ahead.

That second half was incredible.

Rashford, DDG, Bruno and Lindeloff were all great today.

Feel for the Workhorst but he's 100% scoring the winner vs Barca and/or Newcastle

We're in the title race :devil:

The difference is EtH. Who would have thought a United team could play such wonderful attacking football after last season within the next season? Thoroughly enjoyable game.

With the super aggressive high press Leicester came out of the blocks with, I thought they were either going to score 3 or concede 3. Glad it was the latter!

They looked gassed after 30 minutes though and we had one of most dominant second halfs all season.

Terrible first half, excellent second. Having a clinical goalscorer makes such a difference. Rashford De Gea and Bruno were first class all day. Sancho excellent when he came on. Great result onwards towards Barcelona.

Progress. Valiant Leicester. Thought they were better than Barcelona in the first half. People will say we were bad and giving away the ball, it wasn't the case, they were forcing our hand. Sometimes you have to acknowledge the opposition's strength.

One of the best displays I've seen this season. A near perfect second half. It would've been 5 if we kept our starters on. It nearly was 5 even without them. Just brilliant from everyone. Very very happy.

I thought we'd be lucky to get a draw and we ended up pasting them. Nice to be wrong and great to get 7 points out f 9 without Casemiro. But fek me we deserved to be two nil down at half time.

2nd half was absolutely tremendous to watch. It was like watching us in our prime years under Sir Alex Ferguson.

Sancho looked unplayable (almost like his Dortmund days), so good to seem him back playing with confidence and with a smile on his face.

Fantastic game. Ripped them apart in the 2nd half with Sancho. Weghorst is impossible to hate with how hard he works despite being nowhere near good enough. Happy for Mainoo

And Rashers is just immense!

Enjoyable match, solid win after a shaky start, could've scored stacks more, but unexpected bonus of Rash and Shaw getting a subbed early.

Poor start again, which we’ve seen a few times recently. Luckily much improved after the break. Rashford is unstoppable right now and I thought Sancho was outstanding when he came on. His skill set is suited to playing in those little pockets in the middle or inside channel, more than as an out and out winger.

Great second half performance. Was worried when we spurned a couple easy chances at 1-0. Felt like we'd concede and lose our composure, but thankfully we only grew as the game went on.

De Gea MotM. His saves came at the right moment and were world class, plus there was a nice punch after corner too

Excellent win after a hairy first 15!
Comfy enough to get critical rests in for Rashy and Shaw, McTom back on the pitch to boost the midfield options plus get Sancho's resurgence going

Fantastic performance, especially second half.
Imagine this side with a world class striker up top. Frightening.
