Manchester United takes it all on Matchday 1 against Leicester City

The team who won were not the most exciting. The team who lost, should have gotten more from the game. But United bossed enough before it was too late.

As said by the ex-United stopper and father of Kasper, Leicester did look the better team as time wore on. I have to agree. Yes, the visitors were below par, but they rallied back and became better. United’s shot count of eight shots at goal supports this statement.

United should be killing teams off with this world-studded team Jose brags. Sanchez was again a shadow of his normal self. Pogba can lead and Jose has a team of high spirits after showcasing a flat moral on arrival. They have to become more convincing.

Leicester have time to get back up and try again. They played a lot better than expected and should come good in their next fixture, which is against newly promoted side, Wolves.
