Manchester United returned to English top-flight action with a trip to the King Power Stadium in the East Midlands. Going into the game, the Reds had a 29-game unbeaten streak away from home but, unfortunately, that was ended by the fired-up Foxes.
Late goals by Jamie Vardy and Patson Daka earned Leicester City a thrilling 4-2 victory that ended Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Team’s 29-match unbeaten away run.
Mason Greenwood put Man Utd in front after 19 minutes with a ferocious angled drive from distance.

The home side went back in front on 78 minutes, with Caglar Soyuncu converting from close range after a goalmouth scramble.
The lead lasted only four minutes as Marcus Rashford, who came on for his first appearance of the season, finished from a long pass by Victor Lindelof.
But Vardy replied just 54 seconds later with an unstoppable half-volley for his seventh goal of the season before Daka struck in stoppage time to become the first Zambian to score in the Premier League.
