| Jadon Sancho of Manchester United scores a goal to make the score 0-1 during the Premier League match between Leicester City and Manchester United at The King Power Stadium on September 1, 2022 in Leicester, United Kingdom. |
Manchester United reeled off their third successive
Premier League win under new manager Erik ten Hag to ensure Leicester City's
troubled start to the season continued at King Power Stadium.
Jadon Sancho's smooth finish from Marcus Rashford's
pass after 23 minutes maintained United's recent revival and allowed them to
build on victories at home to Liverpool and away to Southampton.
United remained largely in control against an out of
sorts Leicester, who are still searching for their first league win of the
season and who, along with manager Brendan Rodgers, felt the impatience of the
home fans.
Visiting keeper David de Gea was forced into a fine
save from James Maddison's free-kick in the second half but otherwise United
were rarely troubled, with Casemiro emerging as a substitute and Cristiano
Ronaldo, another late replacement, coming close with an acrobatic bicycle kick.
