LIVE: Man Utd vs Leicester City

It would be a very interesting tussle between 'em! Discipline would be key i think?

Will be good to see united and Leicester in the league when both are up to speed. Will be a different affair I think. Agree that United were the better side but with Okazaki hitting the bar and but for some better decision making from us in the final third then it could easily have been a draw

I wouldn't say United looked utterly comfortable, they were pretty unimaginative for much of the first half and looked very much like last season. Mourinho seemed to agree with that which is why he said it will take time. Lingards super effort really did open things up

We didn't look our usual selves but I thought they scored their first against the run of play and I didn't see the second coming either. All in all a draw would probably have been the fairest result. Hopefully this will get us up and running for Hull.

Against the run of play It was pretty much wave after wave of Man Utd attack against a 10 man wall of Leicester City defence. We scored with our 4th shot of the game and Leicester City had I think 1 shot in that time.

'wave after wave of Man Utd attack' are you sure?

Okay complete territorial domination. Suprised how many times Leicester City were hoofing it. Only set pieces and a gift from Fellaini did Leicester City cause us any trouble. Barely did anything all game in open play.

Oh come on Hafi you know how we (Leicester) play it cant be a surprise. We have a tried and trusted method and dont need the ball- if your passing it around at the back your not hurting us. We don't have the quality of most teams to intricately pass through defences so we chip it through to our 2 whippets up front!

I think you had some neat play at times and your certainly going to be much stronger than you were last season. But lets not pretend you were all over us yesterday.

I don't think we will be much stronger then last season. Its just last season the fine margins went against us. If those fine margins go for us with the extra quality we have brought in that could make all the difference.

I think Leicester City will finish about 7th or 8th and probably finish 2nd in CL group depending on draw and you never know could be a dark horse for the CL.

Utd were very lucky yesterday.

I didn't see a single instance of 'hoofball' from City during the televised highlights so I guess all that would have taken place during the 45 minutes or so that wasn't shown.

Ibra will be a handful this season for defenders. He outjumped and outmuscled Wes Morgan. I couldn't see too many concerns but I guess everyone was sweltering in the 39.9c pitch temperature reported on the radio.

Huth needs to keep control of his head. A continuance of yellow cards will prove costly otherwise.
