Manchester United got back to winning ways in the Premier League in emphatic style after four goals in the first half saw them on their way to an impressive three points against reigning champions Leicester City.
The big story before kick-off was the dropping of captain Wayne Rooney to the bench by manager José Mourinho, as Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata and Ander Herrera made their way into the starting eleven as the United boss looked to figure out his best combination.
All the attention on Rooney however, was consigned to the wayside as United put in their most impressive first-half performance in recent memory. Goals from Chris Smalling, Juan Mata, Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba saw the Reds in a commanding position at half-time, as a performance full of flair and swagger captivated the Old Trafford crowd.
Despite Demarai Gray’s wonder strike in the second half for Claudio Ranieri’s men, United were never seriously troubled by the Foxes in the second half and they comfortably saw home the three points.
A simply brilliant performance by United today and here are five main talking points after Saturday’s clash at the Theatre of Dreams:
