Manchester United storms past Leicester thanks to red-hot Rashford

Say it out loud: Manchester United are in the Premier League title race.

After Brendan Rodgers saw his Leicester side come very close to taking the lead on numerous occasions early on but they found David de Gea in sensational form.

Rashford then scored either side of half time, while substitute Jadon Sancho added another goal as Erik ten Hag’s cranked through the gears in the second half .

The win moves them just five points behind league leaders Arsenal, while Leicester remain on 24 points and just four points above the relegation zone.

They are still going for four trophies this season and Manchester United’s unlikely bid to win all four is fuelled by the excellent form of David de Gea in goal, Lisandro Martinez in defense, Casemiro in midfield, and Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes combining in attack. They are a more cohesive team unit and if those five players stay fit and in-form, United could just about win it all. DDG saved them early on against Leicester as a Casemiro sized hole in midfield (this was the last game of his domestic suspension) threatened to derail their recent upsurge. But then Lisandro Martinez started to shut the door. Bruno Fernandes pulled the strings. Marcus Rashford finished the chances. And boom. Just like that United were 3-0 up and cruising. Jadon Sancho contributing off the bench, Wout Weghorst slotting in as a decoy for Rashford and the likes of Luke Shaw, Diogo Dalot and Fred all standing tall are making everything tick nicely. But it is the fantastic five throughout the spine of the team who will decide whether or not this superb United surge ends with plenty of silverware at the end of the season.
