Man Utd 2-1 Leicester
Claude Puel claps the away end. A funny game for Leicester fans to digest, they were arguably the better side in the first half but trailed, had a quiet spell but then rallied at the end.

What a great game to start the Premier League. Unbelievable drama, managed well in the end by Man United. Leicester can walk away with their heads held high. I'm looking forward to this season.

Andreas Pereira has just completed a full 90 minutes for only the third time in his Manchester United career.
He made his debut in that infamous 4-0 EFL Cup hammering by MK Dons, in which Dele Alli featured for the hosts.
Pereira has spent the last two seasons on loan. It remains to be seen whether the Belgium-born Brazilian remains at Old Trafford this season.

What a bizarre finish that was. It was an in-swinging cross that either the keeper touches or he doesn't. Vardy is on hand to nod it in.
Jamie Vardy
There we go!
The same two players combine as Ricardo Pereira floats in another cross from the right, left-footed, it's over the head of Eric Bailly but hits the base of the post!
Jamie Vardy is onto it and from about a yard out heads in. HE ALWAYS SCORES AGAINST THE TOP SIX. Time after time after time.

Great chance! Jamie Vardy should score, well at least hit the target anyway. It's not easy to beat David de Gea these days. Ricardo Pereira spins a lovely ball to the back stick, United's line is jagged and plays Vardy onside, he swivels and rather shins a volley over the bar.
Early season rust.

Fluke Shaw! Yes.
Let's give Alexis Sanchez some credit where it's due, he's just played a dream of a crossfield pass. Wire-to-wire. Touchline to touchline.

Labeeb: With that first touch FLUKE SHAW scores his first goal.
Jay: Shaw touch from the the young man!! Glad we got that second. He has had an excellent game Luke Shaw. That would do his confidence the world of good. Strolling to an opening day win.
Kenny: Yes Luke Shaw! Well-deserved, and not just on the night when he's been outstanding, long-overdue after the couple of years he's had

A promising start to the season though. Very watchable indeed. It's good to be back isn't it?

It is not a losing 2-0 performance for Leicester because they have played well tonight.

Manchester United will top the league. They have played well in periods, as have Leicester. But ultimately David de Gea's two big saves have proved crucial.

I'm so pleased for Luke Shaw. He has had a rocky five minutes and hasn't looked that confident playing left-back, but he has got himself forward. His first touch gets away from him but he reaches to put it low into the net. Well done.

Jose Mourinho really celebrated that goal too. The best moment of his summer. He is able to replace Paul Pogba now with a few minutes to go and send on Plan B Marouane Fellaini.
Luke Shaw
THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
Luke Shaw has scored his first ever career goal and it's enough to even get Jose Mourinho celebrating and smiling!
That's the game. Shaw makes a late dash forward into space, Juan Mata plays a lovely ball into his run and though Shaw fluffs his first touch, he's able to react and stretch to hook a sort of half-volley across goal and in.
An element of fortune but a big moment for the former England man.
