Manchester United 2-1 Leicester


Manchester United 2-1 Leicester Highlights (Ibrahimovic heads home the winner late in second half)  


Manchester United took on Leicester City in the opening game of the season at Wembley and it turned out to be quite a game as United took the lead in first half through Jese Lingard but Leicester got themselves back on level terms just after the break when Jamie Vardy pounced on a back pass from Marouane Fellaini and dribbled past De Gea to put the ball in the back of the net. United dominated most part while Leicester looked lively on their typical counter attacking game.

Match Preview: Foxes has come along way from fighting relegation last season and winning the premier league 2015-16 title. While things have been different at United since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson. They appointed their third manager in as many years after Louis Van Gaal was sacked at the end of the season and in comes Jose Mourinho for the new era at United.


Team News & Lineups: Jose Mourinho will take charge of first competitive game as United manager while new signings, Zlatain Ibrahimovic, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Eric Bailly are expected to make their official debuts for United against Leicester City.

Leicester on the other hand has managed to hold on to their two key players in Jamie Vardy and Riyadh Mahrez and also added talented forward in Ahmad Musa who scored twice against Barcelona in friendly game last week. This is how I expect both teams to lineup on Sunday.
