Overview of the match "Man. United" - "Leicester":
An exciting match between Manchester United and Leicester at Old Trafford brought a landslide victory to the home team. After 25 minutes, Manchester United took the lead thanks to M. Rushford. The guests were unlucky and made some costly mistakes. On 45 minutes W. Faes received a yellow card. At the 46th minute of the match, Manchester United replaced J. Sancho with A. Garnacho.

Leicester reacted immediately: C. Dewsbury-Hall replaced J. Tielemans, N. Mendy instead of B. Soumare and Tete instead of D. Praet.
