Man Utd power past Leicester as Ten Hag gets third straight win

• Jadon Sancho goal the decider
• Ten Hag's team building chemistry
• Leicester sit bottom on one point

WHAT HAPPENED? Manchester United won a third game on the bounce to keep up their positive momentum under Ten Hag. Sancho scored his second goal in his past three appearances.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: The Red Devils now move up to fifth in the table on nine points after failing to collect any points in their opening two fixtures. New signing Antony is yet to be added to the fold and he could provide yet another dynamic to this Manchester United team.

ALL EYES ON: Cristiano Ronaldo was benched for the fourth game in a row, however he provided a good cameo as he played the final 20 minutes. With the transfer window closing tonight, the striker is set to stay at Old Trafford in what looks to be a rotational role.
