    Man Utd 2-0 Leicester

    Matt Elliott
    Former Leicester City captain for BBC Radio Leicester

    Man United are such a strong side in all areas and there is a part of you as a Leicester player who thinks, "let's just keep it at 2-0"...

    If Man United wanted to, they could wreak havoc but I am sure they will be happy with their two goals.

    Leicester earn their first corner of the match in the 84th minute, but cannot make anything of it.

    Marouane Fellaini

    Man Utd

    Points sealed.

    Marcus Rashford has made a brilliant contribution having come off the bench. He sets fellow sub Jesse Lingard free down the left-edge of the box.

    Lingard holds the ball up and the chance looks to have disappeared, but the Englishman's low shot is diverted into the net by Marouane Fellaini from six yards out.

    Was Fellaini offside? It looked marginal, but this time the linesman's flag stays down.

    Into the final 10 minutes, have Leicester got anything left to give? They have worked ever so hard today, but may head back home with nothing.

    On the next attack, Demarai Gray attempts another strike from around 30 yards out, but it is not the best and rolls out of play.

    United playing keep ball and can afford to, having taken the lead.

    Leicester still pose a threat though...

    I am slightly lost for words.

    I didn't think for one moment Jamie Vardy would be the man going off...

    A final United change.

    Anthony Martial off, Jesse Lingard on.

    A Leicester sub too. Islam Slimani replaces Jamie Vardy.

    15 minutes remaining.

    Man Utd 1-0 Leicester

    Romelu Lukaku gets a run at Wes Morgan for the first time, but lashes a shot wildly into the East Stand as he approaches the penalty area.

    Not the sort of finishing you come to expect from the big Belgian.

    Man Utd 1-0 Leicester

    Jose Mourinho's favourite Marouane Fellaini is being sent into the action to shore things up for the home side.

    Henrikh Mkhitaryan is the man who comes off.

    Man Utd 1-0 Leicester

    Demarai Gray scored a cracker on this ground last season and attempts another similar effort, but does not catch it right and David de Gea can throw his cap on it.

    Leicester have to come out of their own box now.

    Super sub - Rashford didn't take long to make an impact did he.

    Unguarded and unpressured.

    Disappointed to concede from a set piece that wasn't really properly contested.

    Marcus Rashford.

    Man Utd

    Breakthrough.

    Henrkh Mkhitaryan swings in the corner and the ball is towards Marcus Rashford, sweeping in first time with a bounced effort.

    Kasper Schmeichel gets a hand to it but can only palm into the roof of the net.

    Shocking marking from Leicester.

    The United fans are making themselves heard and urging their side on.

    Leicester, though, are sitting back and asking United to come at them,

    Paul Pogba feeds Marcus Rashford in the area, but Harry Maguire comes across to block.

    Corner...

    At times it looks like Man United are running out of ideas here - Rashford will bring some much needed pace.

    Oooh.

    Riyad Mahrez drops a shoulder and gets past Daley Blind, but then flashes a shot across the face of goal.

    Little more guile needed there when he found space.
