That's better! It's a deserved scoreline because we have improved a lot and Leicester have been a little poor at the back.
I'm fairly confident of 3 points today now. Just hope we can keep it going in the 2nd half enough to carry it through to the next match.
@Franki, seen any bears toting marmalade sandwiches? Or Emily Bishop?
No,shocked to learn you can't bring coco tea back though , do people snort it or something ?I'm fairly confident of 3 points today now. Just hope we can keep it going in the 2nd half enough to carry it through to the next match.

No Fellaini and Rooney to slow play down,and pogba has been brilliant.
Leicester crumbled after Mata goal.
I don't think it's been down to Fella. It's been Blind's passing and corners and the pace up front without Rooney. Harry has been pretty poor in the fella position in my view. Leicester crumbled after Mata goal.

Blind was brilliant today, such a versatile player. Thought Harry was ok myself, one of those quiet but effective performances. Still job well done in first half, saw it out in the second barring that great shot from Leicester.We really needed that today, no ammo for the Rooney fan club to attack Mourinho and a good statement that we aren't fubar'ed just yet to the rest of the EPL too.

Agreed. I just don't think it's Harry's position and he was no better than Fella. The differences were in different areas. We really needed that today, no ammo for the Rooney fan club to attack Mourinho and a good statement that we aren't fubar'ed just yet to the rest of the EPL too.

In fairness Fellaini has played well ,but when begets the ball it's sideways and backwards ,whereas Herrera will move it forward quickly .
And cocoa tea...tea from the cocoa plant.They all drunk it here,good for altitude sickness (I'm at 3400m).
I agree with that as well and it depends on what we want from that player. I'd play Blind there. Harry was slow in releasing the ball today and is better at moving it forwards from further up the pitch.

Just got back from the game. Herrera was pretty good I thought.
Big difference was only one defensive midfielder and more positional discipline from others.
Best first half performance for years the place was jumping during that first half demolition.
Rooney will no doubt be the story but he got a great reception when he came on and rightly so.

Utd certainly looked much sharper and more dangerous without Rooney. Hardly surprising. He is now a really poor player.
Not sure the lineup today was quite right, but it was more than good enough against a very poor Leicester side.
Blind is simply an excellent footballer. If he had any pace at all, he would be world class.

It seems the despicable act of a man can be seen a bit longer at ManU thanks to the final 30 mins. of the 1st half and 3 goals from set pieces.
Pogba stll looks like a shadow of someone costing 110M, Blind, Mata and Rashford played a very decent match though.
Gose now finally seems to have found something which looks like his first 11, although I wonder whether he keeps Rooney out of it and what he'll make of his 3rd buy Micky. Who according to the ever changing and bendable Mourinho narrative, just like his other 3 buys, was very necessary and key in Gose's magical, inventive road to the imaginary EPL title.

Certainly shut up those Leicester fans for a bit but some of the chants being exchanged were funny. 
Nice to see Vidic with Fergie not far behind us as well... it's early days but Bailly finally looks like a good replacement for Vidic.
