Leicester City increased the pressure on Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as they ran out fully deserved winners in a thriller at King Power Stadium.

Manchester United at one stage threatened to steal a point from a dreadful performance but the Foxes rallied to secure their best win of an indifferent start to the season.

The defeat ends United's English league record 29-game unbeaten run away from home.

It all started so well for United when Mason Greenwood's brilliant long-range strike put them in front after 18 minutes but Leicester were level before half-time when the returning Harry Maguire, who had a nightmare afternoon, was robbed by Kelechi Iheanacho to set up Youri Tielemans for a sweeping finish.

Leicester City were vastly superior after the break and went ahead when Caglar Soyuncu sparked a flurry of late goals when he pounced in a goalmouth scramble with 12 minutes to go.

Marcus Rashford, back as a substitute after three months out following shoulder surgery, looked to have got United out of the hole when he ran on to Victor Lindelof's long ball to apply an emphatic finish four minutes later.

It was a sign of just how bad United were that they were behind again straight from the restart when Ayoze Perez pulled the ball back for Jamie Vardy to flash a finish high past David de Gea.

There was to be no comeback this time and Patson Daka bundled in at the far post for the fourth in stoppage time.

Foxes find form at last

It is inevitable that much focus will be placed on the failings of Manchester United and manager Solskjaer but Leicester deserve huge credit for a performance that saw them back to their best after a mixed start to the season.

The presence of Jonny Evans in defence provided reassurance and quality while Iheanacho tormented Maguire, who delivered a laboured and error-strewn display.

Leicester may have fallen behind to that Greenwood stunner but they never lost belief for a second and it was no surprise when Tielemans showed his quality with that clipped finish over De Gea into the far corner after Maguire inexplicably dawdled on the ball.

It gave Leicester real impetus and they dominated the second half, with only De Gea keeping the scoreline down as they swarmed over United.

Soyuncu put them back in front but it looked as though their excellence may not be rewarded with a win when Rashford crashed home a leveller.

Once again, Leicester showed resolve and quality to hit United again within seconds and that was that. They were not letting the lead slip this time.

United were on the ropes and Leicester kept them there as King Power Stadium rocked in celebration.

Daka's goal was the final decoration on an outstanding display, leaving manager Brendan Rodgers beaming after a spell when he was being asked questions of his own - ridiculous given the fact he brought the FA Cup to Leicester City last season.
He will hope this is lift-off for their season.

Part of man u. Problem is the arsenal delusion syndrome. They have never move pass the past.

Man City has bigger money and they can rent the best coach. Chelsea also has bigger money and can rent the best coaches. Liverpool has strong tradition to draw from but I can say they are at per with united in terms of archievement. But apparently united still see themselves undisputed the top club in England. Technically united na 3rd/4th place team currently.

United are one of the biggest spenders in world football.

If you spend 80m on Magwaya and 55m on Bisiakwa what do you expect.

United have spent almost what City have spent.

Adakintroy:


They are bigger than. City and Chelsea's over the last decade in spending ?

handsomeyitayo:

Alejandrah:


United is shit team without a model.

They spend recklessly without any sporting objective.

Chelsea and City have a model that's why they are winning titles.

If I ask you, what was the reason for buying Magwaya who is not better than Troost ekong for 80m and Bsisaka who's no where near Ola Aina for 55m.

Abeg united are wasting money on shit players

They have spent just like City and Chelsea.

Go and do your research and rest!!!

una Gud morning.

Every team has miss spending. Chelsea had tores arsenal have Pepe. That's your problem to deal with. My point is that the mechanism for success is to a great deal money. Gone are he days when untied we're the biggest spenders. From snapping Rooney for 30mill and Roy fedinard for same. Those day are gone. Now they will have to compete for it with Chelsea and man City. The chance of those top team outbidding them is high. This are the crust of the matter. That's why I say they are still living in he past. You have to dominate off the pitch with money to dominate on the pitch. Now we have Newcastle in the mix. So rest in the knowledge they will move down the pecking order even more.

Blaqstick:

Atlanta vs Man U. sure die
Na Man U Dey at home

Alejandrah:


Bros you're going back and forth. If United like make em spend 6m on Rooney or 2m on VanNistaroy. I don't care.

The bottom line here is that, United have spent billions of pounds on players just like City, Chelsea.

Tores scored a crucial goal that won Chelsea a UCL.

United are spending but spending in a shit way!!!!
