Minute-by-minute report: Will the Foxes escape the bottom of the table or can United continue their recent improvement? Join Rob Smyth.
A high-profile win against an improving but still eminently beatable Manchester United would reduce the noise and lift Leicester off the bottom of the table. At his best, he’s fine – I thought he was player of the match in the Europa League final, for example. They have had vile luck with injuries over the last couple of years, and their net spend since Rodgers took over in 2019 is among the lowest in the league. A year ago, Brendan Rodgers was the same odds as Erik ten Hag to succeed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as Manchester United manager. I know he’s not the best player in the world, I know he occasionally behaves like a 25-year-old, but I bloody love James Maddison. Eventually the ball was fed into Eriksen, who dummied to go across goal and then dragged a shot past the near post. 13 min “Rob,” says Rod Wooden, “never mind about Ronaldo being on the bench against Norwich, he would probably be only a substitute for Norwich at the moment. A transfer request when he was left out at home to Norwich? “I imagine he was a bit surprised that Champions League clubs were not lining up to get him.” Dalot collected a Leicester goalkick and flipped the ball down the right to Fernandes. 18 min Maddison is starting to impose his personality on the game. I’m sorry but it is really getting on my nerves and not so much the decisions but time which just shows incompetence.”

Man Utd have been the weaker side since the restart, they’ve barely created a chance. He looks to cross into the middle byt Dalot leaps in front of the pass and blocks it. Ronaldo squares it to the open Eriksen but at the last moment Jonny Evans lunges in front of the pass and intercepts. Fernandes nutmegs Thomas and switches the play over to Rashford on the left side of the pitch. Eriksen is up with him once more and Ronaldo fizzes a pass across the area but can’t pick out his team-mate. Patson Daka comes on to take his spot up front. Leicester fly up the pitch with Daka receiving the ball. He gives it to Dewsbury-Hall who lays it off to Maddison and sets up a shot. Leicester 0-1 Man Utd Manchester United win their third game in a row. This is now their worst start to a season since 1994 and they remain bottom of the league with just one point out of an available 15. Sancho showed great composure to round Leicester goalkeeper Danny Ward and finish a fine Untied move on 23 minutes.

Ten Hag has been allowed to purchase players he knows from the Eredivisie: [Antony](https://inews.co.uk/sport/football/deadline-day-transfers-premier-league-deals-transfer-window-close-today-1826814?ico=in-line_link), Tyrell Malacia, Lisandro Martinez. The exception to that transfer policy is Casemiro. Whether he still will be in two years’ time is a more awkward question. Whether that is proof of a new United age or their own organisational weaknesses probably depends on how you squint at it.

6/10. Cristiano Ronaldo 7/10. Jadon Sancho: Did brilliantly to hover in an offside position until getting onside just in time to receive Rashford’s through ball for the opening goal. Picked up a booking when stopping Dewsbury-Hall from continuing a dangerous attack, but that was the only blot on his performance. Goalbound free-kick forced De Gea into a quality save. James Maddison: Back from injury, was involved in majority of Leicester’s attacks but often lacked a cutting edge. We spoke to some players over the summer, hoping we could bring in new faces because this group needs it. We’ve been unable to do any work [in the transfer market] and it’s been very frustrating, but from tonight onwards our goal is to win games. 7/10 6/10 And then came the dirty work. United – and De Gea in particular – have often shunned that short passing in favour of the safer, more direct approach.
Jadon Sancho lifted Man United past Leicester City and the Red Devils look more confident than they have in a while. But attacking concerns persist.
Once we have Cristiano Ronaldo and Casemiro getting fitter it will get better still -- we need not only a team we need a squad." Manager United manager Erik Ten Hag on the win: "It is another step forward so I am happy with that. Replacing him will be impossible, but Leicester need to find a younger striker with the ability to score as regularly as Vardy used to.

Here is ESPN's Mark Ogden with reaction and analysis:
Great play between Diogo Dalot, Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford resulted in the ball being threaded through to Sancho and the England international rounded ...
Maddison's curling 25-yard free-kick was tipped away by De Gea to prevent it from nestling in the top corner. Despite a relatively even opening 10 minutes, it was United who quickly put our stamp on the game. Our forward line continued to pick up great positions between the lines and Rashford played in Sancho once again but his effort was well blocked by James Justin, while Harvey Barnes whipped a shot just over the bar. A couple of touches between Dalot, Fernandes and Rashford were all that was required for Sancho to find himself in space and slot home with complete composure, for his second goal of the season. It was a confident and self-assured first-half from the Reds, but Leicester quickly grew into the game, rousing their home fans. David De Gea saved well from James Maddison's free-kick after the break, but United had the better opportunities to double our lead and were comfortable in closing out the win, which takes us up to fifth in the top-flight table.
Manchester United beat Leicester 1-0 to move them up to fifth in the Premier League.
It was the first time Manchester United have won three consecutive games in the division since December 2021, which points to the improvement made under their new manager. Jadon Sancho's strike secured a third straight win for the Red Devils as Erik ten Hag's revolution continues to gather pace. The England international rounded Danny Ward in the first half to leave Leicester rock bottom and move Manchester United up to fifth ahead of Sunday's meeting with leaders Arsenal.

Instead, it is three wins in a row and three games in which his players have been committed to the cause. I have to do the very best with the resources I have. That will please Ten Hag - the fact that it is easy to envisage Antony and Casemiro, brought on here, being slotted into this side now. Scott McTominay provided that in midfield, a dominant presence for the 45 minutes, and ahead of him there are promising signs too. Immediately, he was up and slapping the chest of the Manchester United centre-backs. I would have loved to have added five, six players to add to the quality of the group but if you can't do it I respect that. "Maybe it's too quick to say [we have turned a corner], we're happy with it, we're building a team and a squad who are sticking together, fighting for each other, they co-operate and if you do that, you get the right results. On whether new signing Antony will be involved this weekend, Ten Hag said: "We have to see [if he'll be in the squad]. "I think it's clear to see [that the squad is weaker than last year]. Players want to compete; this group has shown they can compete but we needed help and unfortunately we haven't been able to get that. "Maybe it's too quick to say [we have turned a corner]," he said. "I'm happy with the clean sheet.
Casemiro showed his class when he came on for Man United vs Leicester. His highlights have from the match have emerged.
“He has to get used to a different league. Once Casemiro is up to speed, he has the ability to dominate the Premier League. He has achieved everything possible and now has to adapt to his new team-mates,” Casemiro was a commanding presence in the middle of midfield as he shielded the defence effectively and also displayed some impressive passing. And the 31-year-old was solid during his time on the pitch. He was given a longer chance to impress by Erik ten Hag as he replaced Anthony Elanga in the 59th minute.
PREMIER LEAGUE clubs can still sign players even after the transfer window shuts.
But with murmurs of a possible retirement, according to There has been talk of a move from Scotland’s two biggest clubs in Celtic and Rangers, while Newcastle and Southampton have been credited with an interest. The central midfielder left Parkhead after nine years at the club and over 200 appearances. As of yet, no club had taken a punt on the midfielder. And as an emergency signing, the 23-year-old would represent a sound addition to any Premier League team. Of course, some of the more high-profile out-of-contract stars such as Antonio Rudiger and Paul Pogba have already been snapped up.

He spent the second half of the 2020/21 season on loan at Forest. He made his first-team debut in February 2019 at the age of 17, coming on as a substitute against Crystal Palace.

ERLING HAALAND has lit up the Premier League since joining Manchester City this summer.
The now 22-year-old went on to bag an incredible 86 goals and 23 assists in 89 games for Dortmund as he developed into one of the best strikers in the world. Haaland has started his City career in emphatic fashion and notched his second consecutive hat-trick on Wednesday night as the Citizens put Nottingham Forest to the sword. Haaland’s representatives wanted to secure a share from future sales of the player as part of a transfer deal. By the time Haaland had played his last game for the Austrian club, he had accumulated a staggering 29 goals in 27 appearances. And their failure to get their hands on the blockbuster Norway striker could be their greatest transfer mistake ever. Haaland came through the ranks at Bryne in his homeland before joining Molde in 2017.
Former midfielder Owen Hargreaves has praised Man Utd for the "fantastic signing" of Antony from Ajax for £86m this summer.
Looking at the total picture, that frustrates you as a trainer, but also how you stand in the world. Winning the ball back is a big thing in Ten Hag’s system and he will fit in like a glove with that.” But my personal feeling is that it’s just bad.” They’ve paid a lot of money for him but I think he will be a fantastic signing. If you’re disappointed for a day or two, I understand, but at some point you’re a professional. I think Man United fans are going to love him.
Manchester United have confirmed the signing of winger Antony from Ajax, it was announced on Thursday.
He has made nine appearances for Brazil, scoring twice, and helped his country to an Olympic gold medal in Tokyo last year. Antony added: "Playing under Erik ten Hag at Ajax was perfect for me and my development. I'm thankful to everyone who has believed in me, especially my family, and all my coaches and team-mates, because I could not have got here without them."

It was a moment to warm the hearts of Manchester United supporters: Diogo Dalot blocking a late cross from Leicester City winger Harvey Barnes and ...
“This is the goal for us so we will celebrate and I think it’s something that came completely naturally from us. It was also a moment of immense vindication from Dalot. Tracking his man, the United full-back waited until Barnes whipped in his cross before leaping feet first into its path without a semblance of concern for his own personal wellbeing. “I think this is the way it should be. They held onto their lead, securing a 1-0 victory that lifted them up to fifth in the embryonic Premier League table. Erik ten Hag’s side had looked in control and a sense was growing that Leicester could play until Bonfire Night without scoring.
Hear from the boss as he chats about team news, the transfer window and the trip to Old Trafford.
That is the only reason why we are here, and we have to continue to do that. We have obviously tried to get everything done that we can, and sometimes you have to get the right balance. Yesterday it was a real possibility and we tried, but then we kept the decision to say that it has to be the right player for the team and for the club. I think we have learned a lot from that and there's still the players that we have to get out. We have gone through things like that when we hadn’t won at Stamford Bridge for 20 or something years, but you need to believe that you will do that. We have to go into the market and the other teams and coaches are going to tell you how good you are, what your value is and what you’ve done. The attitude of the player is there and he’s really disappointed to be out again as you can imagine, and the team needs him when he’s back. He called me really late last night and it was more of a conversation that we used to have when we were teammates and really good friends. There is nothing else we can do, we have an academy as well that we have to use, and we’ll try to utilise the players in the best possible way. Then we had to react in the market and we tried, but at the end of the day we have to bring in the player that we feel is right for the team and for the club and we didn’t manage to do that. I think that there have been moments when the history and the media were talking about it, and the special rivalry between certain players built a certain momentum into it. No, we had a lot of things still to do in the squad, you see the amount of departures, compared to the number we have recruited.
