Manchester United vs Leicester City English Premier League Live Streaming (1-0)

The United defence was hardly tested throughout, although David De Gea made a superb point-blank stop from Andy King in stoppage time, as the Reds recorded a third consecutive clean sheet and return to the Premier League summit. “It was very, very good that we have won and we have [won] three out of three”.

United have struggled for a clear pattern of play in recent years if we sideline Louis van Gaal’s sterile possession football as an experiment that failed, but one appears to be emerging and it was the key to their dominance here.

Huddersfield Town’s 0-0 draw with Southampton meant United went two points clear at the summit, although West Bromwich Albion will join them on nine points if they beat Stoke City today.

Asked about the 28-year-old’s form now Mourinho said: “He understands me and I understand him”.

Lukaku, who had scored three goals in his first two games since his summer move from Everton, stepped up and while his spot-kick had plenty of power, it wasn’t placed well enough and Schmeichel guessed the direction to come up with a firm stop.

Just before the worldwide break, Mourinho has opted against making wholesale changes changes to the team that won their first two Premier League games.

With Leicester playing deep and Manchester United still goalless, Jose Mourinho threw Marcus Rashford on, on 67 minutes played.

Lukaku, who scored three goals in the opening two games of his Manchester United career, has five goals in the last five Premier League outings against Leicester City.

“I’m really happy, not for me”.

Therefore at half-time, the teams were deadlocked with both managers wanting more from their players in the second half in order to find the all important breakthrough in the game. “I am really pleased with him”.

Hopes most certainly are up, fingers crossed, lucky rabbit’s feet purchased among other good luck charms as United fans pray for a winning season.

Leicester, meanwhile, have three points from their opening three fixtures having also lost away to Arsenal in a tough start to the 2015-2016 champions’ campaign. “Because [it] shows two things for me – it shows me the dimension of the player and the dimension of the club”.

United should run out comfortable winners here but that is because Leicester are unlikely to change their tactics and fill out the midfield. He doesn’t do that.

“I don’t want to think about it when he’ll return, I just know he’ll miss the Champions League group stage. So I think it will look like last year but this year the Red Devils will be on top”. “But I have no idea at all”.
