    Leicester gave the ball away cheaply and Manchester united exposed them. Typical Manchester United on the counter-attack - exposing the opposition and they are ahead.

    Brendan Rodgers shakes his head. No need to wonder why.

    Jadon Sancho

    So simple.

    From a Leicester goal-kick, United gather possession, find Bruno Fernandes in so much space. Two passes later - the first to Marcus Rashford, the second on to Jadon Sancho - and the ball is in the net.

    Sancho eased around the home keeper and slotted in.

    How was Fernandes allowed that much space, though? Criminal.

    Harvey Barnes finally finds some space to run into, but before he can reach the box he is halted by a fine tackle from Scott McTominay.

    Elanga is just not good enough to wear the United shirt. Can't cross a ball to save his life!

    Save! An easy one, though.

    James Maddison shifts the ball to Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall but his curling shot is too close to David de Gea.

    Free-kick to Leicester in the United half. Christian Eriksen adjudged to have fouled James Maddison. This will go into the box.

    Damien: Small signs that United are getting it together but what has happened to Leicester? Three or four years ago they would have been like rabid dogs against United.

    James Maddison is seeing more of the ball now, trying to pull some strings. He just fails to pick out Youri Tielemans ahead of him in midfield as Leicester look to break.

    Vinodhnatarajan: A trophy, any trophy would get the ball rolling at Man United - to get there we need consistency and approach - will take the win of a domestic cup and top 4 for Man United right now.

    Manchester United have been criticised for playing two defensive midfielders. With Christian Eriksen in the middle the intent is there. He is speeding up this Manchester United attack.

    Boos from the home crowd as Raphael Varane is tripped in the process of clearing the ball. Free-kick to Man Utd. It was a waste of an attack from Leicester, with James Maddison failing to find Jamie Vardy in the box.

    Sam: Rashford is poor as a CF, I don't understand why anyone plays him there. If you watch him he is NEVER in the box and drifts to where the ball is, rather than making runs into the box.

    Erik ten Hag is furiously making notes, Steve McClaren sits next to him chewing even more furiously.

    Neither side imposing themselves on this.

    Mark: A few more losses and Rodgers could be walking the plank like Parker. Think this is the year of Haaland and zero patience.

    Other than the half chance from Christian Eriksen, no-one has really grabbed control of this game and started dominating possession.

    James Maddison's first-time ball nearly releases Harvey Barnes down the left but Diogo Dalot makes a crucial interception.

    Not seen much from Barnes yet.

    Leicester concede a free-kick through some harrying and hassling. The home fans love it, though. Just what they want to see from their side.

    Close!

    United come forward down the left and work space for Christian Eriksen to whip a shot past the near post.

    VAR may have got involved had he scored. Jadon Sancho looked to have been offside in the build up.
