Manchester United beat Leicester City 1-0 and saw Jadon Sancho scoring the goal. Goalkeeper De Gea grabbed another clean sheet. Man United are now fifth in the table with their third straight win.


Jadon Sancho to the Rescue

Brendan Rodgers faces more pressure as Leicester City is still winless this season. Jadon Sancho ensured that the revival under Ten Hag took a step forward. Man United lost the first two games of their season and had a dismal start to this campaign. The red devils won three on the trot and are now fifth in the PL table. They face off against table leaders Arsenal on Sunday next. Jadon Sancho's goal in the first half was enough to get all three points. Man United could have scored more but could not convert their chances in the second half.

Despite the missed chances, the red devils did not look uncomfortable and always looked like the team in control. Man United's confidence is skyrocketing with three consecutive wins. Man United has consecutively kept two clean sheets and won two away games. Man United can end Arsenal's perfect run this season if the current form continues.



Manchester United sack Jose Mourinho, what next?
1/1
With three failed replacements for Sir Alex Ferguson, the Manchester United Board and American owner Malcolm Glazer are eyeing a much strong replacement.

For the upcoming weekend game against Cardiff City, club legend Michael Carrick, who until now served as a coach on Jose's staff will take over. Manchester United, in statement released after Mourinho's ouster, said that a caretaker manager would take over till the end of the season till then the board will hunt for a possible replacement.

Rumours suggest that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, a Manchester United legend will take over as the caretaker manager.

For the long run Mauricio Pochettino, the Tottenham Hotspur manager, seems to be the favourite. Zinedine Zidane and Laurent Blanc, both of whom are currently not on the job, too can be the replacement. Some suggest that Didier Deschamps, the manager who led France to their recent World Cup glory, is also being considered for the job.

Who is the Best Attacker for Man United?
Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford combined well for the first goal. The duo linked up and got Man United their first goal in 23 minutes.

They have just scored five goals in their last five games, and their latest addition, Antony, might help do the trick. Man United also has the aging Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been starting on the bench lately.
