FT: Leicester City 4–2 Man United. LIVE updates, reactions, stats, ratings & more

🏁 FULL-TIME: Leicester 4–2 Man United. Serious question will be asked about Solskjaer's decision to start Maguire with the Red Devils looking completely hapless at the back. It could have been five or more goals conceded if it wasn't for De Gea's heroics. Ronaldo and Sancho disappointing in attack.

⚽ 90' GOAL. Leicester 4–2 Man United. Patson Daka scores minutes after coming off the bench from a Leicester corner.

⚽ 83' Leicester 3–2 Man United. Well, that didn't last long. Jamie Vardy scores to put Leicester ahead once again. Straight from the kick off, too, with Vardy unmarked by both Maguire and Victor Lindelof.

⚽ 82' GOAL! Leicester 2–2 Man United. Rashford announced his return from injury by scoring an equaliser. The ball over the top and the 23-year-old finishes.

⚽ 78' GOAL. Leicester 2–1 Man United. The Red Devils are undone by another corner as Maguire somehow plays four opposition defenders onside. Caglar Soyuncu taps the ball in despite De Gea saving the first attempt.

⏰ 65–75' Donny van de Beek is warming up as we go into the final 15 minutes at Leicester. De Gea does well to deny Tielemans' effort onto the post and keep Man United in the game.

⏰ 55–65' Rashford comes on to make his first appearance of the 2021/22 season, replacing Sancho's who has been alarmingly below par once again. A better tempo is needed from Man United.

⏰ 46–55' A better start to the half from Man United with Nemanja Matic coming close to scoring a screamer from about 30 yards. Pogba, meanwhile, continues to be wasteful with the ball.

⏰ 46' Second half is underway at the King Power Stadium. No changes from Solskjaer at the break as Maguire stays on the pitch.

📝 Here are the half-time ratings

Impressed: Greenwood – 8, Matic – 7, Lindelof – 7.

Average: De Gea – 6, Wan-Bissaka – 6, Ronaldo – 6, Shaw – 6.

Poor: Maguire – 2, Pogba – 5, Sancho – 4, Bruno – 5.

✍️ Brief summary of the game so far: Greenwood's rocket papered over a largely bad half for Man United. Maguire has been poor and Solskjaer's decision to start the skipper should be questioned. Overall, the Red Devils have been overpowered, outpressed, outplayed and outshone.

⌛ 45' The referee blows the half-time whistle. The second half promises to be scrappy with both teams probably feeling like they could win the game.

⏰ 35–40' Leicester are on the march and Man United fans furious with Solskjaer decision to gamble on Maguire despite his fitness issues.

⚽ 31' GOAL. Leicester 1–1 Man United. Maguire's mistake leads to the Foxes' equaliser. The skipper just waited for David De Gea's pass to reach him, allowing Kelechi Iheanacho to nick the ball.

⏰ 20–30' Man United are looking for another goal bun Jadon Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo are struggling to link up upfront. Still, chants of 'Ole's at the Wheel' are drowning out the home crowd at the moment.

⚽ 19' GOAL! Leicester 0–1 Man United. What a strike from Mason Greenwood! The 20-year-old cut off the right and cannoned in off the far post with his left foot. Fantastic bit of skill!

⏰ 1–10' 1Very rusty from Man United so far while Leicester have been very confident and full of energy. Paul Pogba's loss of the ball near the halfway line has led to the first decent chance of the game for the Foxes.

⏰ 0' And we are underway at King Power Stadium!

😰 Anthony Martial's absence from the squad explained. Solskjaer said: "He's come back from France [duty] not fit so he's not trained all week. Hopefully we can have him back soon."

🤔 Ole Gunnar Solskjaer his team selection today:" It was a difficult decision [to start Maguire] because he has not trained a lot. He did not feel any reaction so we decided to go with him."
