Manchester United 2-0 Leicester player ratings: Anthony Martial impresses as the Red Devils make it three wins in row

Jose Mourinho's side maintained their superb start to the season as goals from substitutes Rashford and Fellaini secured the three points.


Manchester United made it three league wins in a row as goals from Marcus Rashford and Marouane Fellaini helped Jose Mourinho's side record a 2-0 win over Leicester

All credit to Mourinho for making his substitutions when he did as both players got on the scoresheet and helped United maintain their position at the top of the table.


Romelu Lukaku failed to get on the scoresheet after seeing his second half penalty saved by Kasper Schmeichel but there were plenty of positives for Mourinho to take out of the game.

So who impressed at Old Trafford and who had a game to forget?
