Manchester United beat Leicester City at Old Trafford to pick up three points against Brendan Rodgers’ side.

Thanks to Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho for United’s goals.

Rashford scored twice and Sancho came off the bench to secure a point against the Foxes.

It hasn’t been smooth sailing for United. Leicester were on the upside at certain times in the first half and looked likely to break the deadlock.

David De Gea put in some attacks and the Spaniard did not disappoint.

He made one or two excellent saves that proved crucial for United on their way to victory and keeping a clean sheet.

United’s refusal to concede a goal for De Gea means the 32-year-old has equaled Peter Schmeichel’s record for the Red Devils.

The central figure in De Gea’s club history was Lisandro Martinez.

After missing the match against Barça due to a suspension, the Argentinian has returned to Premier League action and has been positioned next to Victor Lindelof at the heart of the team’s defense.

Martinez won 100% of aerial duels and challenges.

The defender posted an impressive passing accuracy of 91%.

He recorded 79 ball touches and contributed one key pass in attack.

Martinez succeeded in five of the eight long balls he attempted to ping his remaining teammates.

The World Cup winner won 5 of the 7 ground duels he dug in, and was also victorious in 3 tackles.

Martinez also dribbled 100%.
