Manchester United made it three league wins in a row as goals from Marcus Rashford and Marouane Fellaini helped Jose Mourinho's side record a 2-0 win over Leicester

All credit to Mourinho for making his substitutions when he did as both players got on the scoresheet and helped United maintain their position at the top of the table.

Romelu Lukaku failed to get on the scoresheet after seeing his second half penalty saved by Kasper Schmeichel but there were plenty of positives for Mourinho to take out of the game.

So who impressed at Old Trafford and who had a game to forget?

Our man David Anderson gives his assessment of the players on show.
