Manchester United remained at the top of the Premier League table for the third consecutive week with a 2-0 home victory over Leicester City. Substitutes Marcus Rashford and Marouane Fellaini struck as Manchester United won to continue their 100 percent start to the Premier League season. United were unable to make a first-half breakthrough despite being on top, Juan Mata having a goal disallowed for offside shortly before a stunning save from Schmeichel. After the break, Lukaku had a penalty kept out by the ever impressive Schmeichel, who achieved a feat his father never managed at Old Trafford in saving a Premier League spot-kick.

De Gea kept out Riyad Mahrez from a tight angle when Leicester had a rare opportunity to go forward. Mourinho made his first move by bringing on Rashford for Mata and the England international had the desired impact, finding the back of the net in the 70th minute. Mhkitaryan’s corner found its way to the forward 10 yards out and his low effort was just enough. The Portuguese boss also brought on Fellaini and Lingard from the bench and the duo combined as United sealed victory. Lingard worked an opening on the left and shot at goal, with Fellaini prodding in from close range despite appearing to be a little offside.

King almost pulled one back to deny United the clean sheet in stoppage time after getting on the end of Gray’s cross but De Gea was alert to deny him at point-blank range as United now go into the international break on a high.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan with his assist has made Premier League history in terms of the number of assists he has made already this season. He has now equaled the EPL record for most assist made in his first three appearances in a season.

Paul Pogba hailed the impact of Manchester United’s goal scoring substitutes, indicating that it was the type of game United might not have won last season. United now sit on top of the EPL table with 9 points and +10 goal difference. Watching the match was sprint legend Usain Bolt, who was in the stands wearing a United cap and scarf as his beloved side secured yet another win.
