    Man Utd 0-0 Leicester

    It won't stand.

    Romelu Lukaku spins and lets rip with a low shot which Kasper Schmeichel pushes into the danger area and Juan Mata reacts quickest to put the ball home form six yards out.

    The linesman's flag is up for offside, though the Spaniard looked onside.

    Dawdling on the ball, Paul Pogba is caught in possession by the hardworking Shinji Okazaki.

    He plays the ball on quickly to Jamie Vardy, but the Englishman's run is halted by the imposing Eric Bailly.

    There's so much movement going on from Manchester United - they look pre-occupied and that could cost them down the line.

    United need to unpick two banks for four and spread the ball wide again to Antonio Valencia.

    The full-back crosses into the box, Danny Simpson ducks, but Matty James can let the ball run through to Kasper Schmeichel.

    That could have caused all sorts of confusion.

    Antonio Valencia has spent more time in the opposition half than his own, but his distribution has been poor so far.

    Neat play from Henrikh Mkhitaryan, shielding the ball well from the Leicester back line.

    The Armenian then opens up an opportunity for himself on the edge of the area and shoots, but it deflects off Wes Morgan and easy for Kasper Schmeichel to gather.

    Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku were both involved in the build-up to that move.

    Beautiful play from Riyad Mahrez, spinning away from Daley Blind on the half way line, but then Eric Bailly comes in and trips the Algerian.

    The free-kick is played deep but skipper Wes Morgan is caught offside at the back post.

    Credit to Mahrez, he has made it clear he wants to leave the club but has knuckled down and given his all to the Foxes so far this season.

    Leicester have given as good as they have got and weathered the storm so far. They are showing a far amount of intent.

    The sunshine is causing a few problems for Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea, shining straight at him in front of the East Stand.

    Riyad Mahrez tries a searching pass into the path of Jamie Vardy, but the Spaniard can come off his line and take the ball.

    Ambitious.

    Former Manchester United youth team player Matty James tries a long-range effort, but his 35-yarder skips wide of David de Gea's goal.

    James signed a new four-year deal with the Foxes earlier today.

    Already work for Kasper Schmeichel to do.

    The Leicester number one has to leap to claim a high ball, but drops it with Romelu Lukaku challenging.

    As is the rule now, you cannot touch the keeper and Michael Oliver awards a free-kick to the visitors.

    A flying start from United, on the front foot straight away.

    Henrikh Mkhitaryan finds space inside the opposition box, but his shot from the angle is blocked by Harry Maguire.

    Match of the Day commentator

    "Six points, eight goals scored and none conceded. It's been an excellent start by Manchester United, displaying the ruthless efficiency associated with all of Jose Mourinho's champions allied to that swagger of old so important to this club, of all clubs.

    "Obviously it's far too early to confidently predict a 14th Premier League title - after all they won their first three games last season and we all know what happened then., external

    "However, it's already clear that United will present a strong challenge.

    "Keeping buddies Romelu Lukaku and Paul Pogba quiet will be the most pressing concern for Leicester City. What a challenge for Harry Maguire as he celebrates his England call-up.

    "Offensively, the Foxes will pose more of a threat than either Swansea or West Ham but such is the overall quality in this United side that I expect them to still be top with their 100% record intact come Saturday night."

    Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho warmly shakes the hand of Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel in the tunnel.

    The name Schmeichel is popular around these parts, it seems.

    That is 29 scored and 24 conceded since Craig Shakespeare took charge in February.

    In that time, matches involving Leicester have produced more goals than any other top-flight team.

    The Leicester players look in good shooting form.

    They have been hammering the ball past goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel and into the practice net in front of the East Stand.

    Full-back Christian Fuchs smashed one right into the top corner, so David de Gea best be on his toes when the ball falls at the feet of the Austrian.
