Manchester United suffered another setback in their bid to properly challenge for the EPL crown. Leicester City claimed a deserved 4-2 home victory against Manchester United.
The home win will be refreshing for the foxes, but for Manchester United, the defeat only questions the capability of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
EPL: Manchester United never really looked settled against the foxes and they were exposed by Leicester City’s attack.
Manchester United never looked like they were going to get a win away at Leicester. A match-rusty Maguire, coupled with some very bad defending ended their 29-away unbeaten run in the Premier League.
The performance at the King Power Stadium will only heap more pressure on under fire manager Ole Gunnar Solksjaer. The Norwegian will be looking for any bright spark in the Manchester United team and that is currently Marcus Rashford.
Rashford returned to the Manchester United side after he recovered from a shoulder surgery he had in the summer. Rashford wasted no time in showing Manchester United fans what they have been missing.
In a match where Cristiano Ronaldo Ronaldo blanked, Marcus Rashford came on and was impactful. He continued his impresive “partnership” with defender Victor Lindelof. The Swede found Rashford with a well-timed pass and the forward`s finish was emphatic.
Will Marcus provide inspiration for a team that looks disjointed at the moment? We’ll find against Atalanta in midweek.
