Mourinho Hails ‘Solid’ Man United After Win Vs Leicester

United have started the new season very strong, with nine points out of nine and are yet to concede a single goal as they sit at the top of the table.

Manchester United has lost only two of their 22 PL matches with Leicester City and only one of these came at Old Trafford: 0-1 in January 1998. Michael Oliver will take charge of the contest.

With Nemanja Matic added to the midfield, Pogba has so much more licence to get involved in attacks than he had during his first full season with the club last term. Are they going to be champions again? And this year things have been quite positive.

“The result was open at 0-0 and it was obviously very hard”.

Ferguson left United as Premier League champions in 2013 but since then they have not finished higher than fourth.

Kelechi Iheanacho may take his place on the bench as he returns to Manchester but Danny Drinkwater, Vicente Iborra, and Robert Huth are all still sidelined. But, Wes Morgan and Jamie Vardy are expected to shrug off their respective knocks to start on Saturday.

Leicester manager Craig Shakespeare believes the centre-back could be an England captain of the future.

Saturday’s match represents the 125th meeting between the two sides, with United having 63 wins to their name in comparison to 33 victories for Leicester.

Chris Smalling is wanted by Leicester – and United boss Jose Mourinho is not targeting a replacement.

Mourinho’s men saw out the closing minutes, earning a 2-0 win and ensuring that they maintained their 100% winning start.

Kasper Schmeichel (Leicester City): He kept the Red Devils at bay in the first half with fine saves to deny Mata and Pogba. They register 63 wins against 28 draws and 33 losses. The French winger has been on Arsenal’s radar all summer, but United have suddenly emerged as front runners for the player’s signature. However, is it worth noting that Luke Shaw and Ashley Young are nearing a return to first-team action.

Continuing in that manner is now the challenge for Mourinho, whose team have seven fixtures in 22 days upon their return from the worldwide break.

As if that wasn’t encouraging enough for Mourinho, Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has rejoined on a one-year contract and should be available before the end of the year after recovering from knee surgery.

Jose Mourinho has only positives to give when it comes to his team news updates for the weekend.

Based on reports, United should not modify the starting XI that won the first two games of the campaign.
