Manchester United bounced back from their midweek draw against Hull City with a convincing 3-0 win against champions Leicester City at the King Power Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Juan Mata were the scorers for United.
Ibrahimovic’s goal makes him the oldest player at 35 years to get to 15 goals in one EPL season.
Super Eagles duo Ahmed Musa and Wilfred Ndidi featured for Leicester City with Musa going off for Andy King on 46 minutes.
Despite the defeat, Ndidi was impressive in the Leicester midfield and was the hosts’ best player.
United still maintain their sixth position in the league table on 45 points and are just two points off fourth-place Arsenal.
