The Red Devils have had a turbulent summer, with Jose Mourinho sacked and the club’s campaign effectively over before it has even begun. There are now calls for new blood at Old Trafford, though whether United will be able to attract top-tier managers is debatable. The side could well fail if they don’t turn things around quickly.
The “manchester united 2” is the score of a football game between Manchester United and Liverpool. The “Manchester United 1” is not available for this game.
Fred has scored four goals for Manchester United this season, his greatest performance for the club.
Manchester United lost further ground in the race for a Champions League berth after being held at Old Trafford by Leicester.
The damage to Ralf Rangnick’s side might have been much worse, as the video assistant referee ordered referee Andre Marriner to the screen 10 minutes from time, overturning James Maddison’s attempt for a foul on Raphael Varane in the build-up.
United may consider themselves lucky to have earned a point.
Kelechi Iheanacho scored a fantastic 63rd-minute breakthrough when he met James Maddison’s left-wing cross with a magnificent diving header that put the ball back into the far corner after a dull first quarter.
The Foxes’ lead lasted only three minutes, with Brazilian midfielder Fred on hand to score the rebound after Kasper Schmeichel had blocked Bruno Fernandes’ attempt into his path.
The result was unfortunate for the hosts, who are currently three points behind fourth-placed Arsenal after two games, with a trip to Arsenal, as well as matches against Liverpool and Chelsea, yet to come.
Rashford’s agony
Marcus Rashford was only handed a bench spot despite the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo, Edinson Cavani, and Mason Greenwood due to illness.
Over the previous several weeks, Rashford’s future has been hotly questioned.
With a contract that is set to expire next year, with an option to extend until 2024, one of the incoming manager’s first jobs when he takes over will be to make a choice on Rashford.
The notion is that a good break, followed by a rigorous preseason and the opportunity to play consistently in his best position, on the left, will solve many of Rashford’s issues.
But for the time being, all he has to do is produce. When Rashford was brought for the final 35 minutes, he was instructed to play at number nine, and he continued to seem uneasy.
As Rashford awaited his turn on, Rangnick gave him precise instructions, and then he and technical director Darren Fletcher gave him more as the game neared its last 20 minutes.
Rashford’s world seemed to be turning for a brief moment. He scooped up the ball just outside the area in stoppage time and surged towards the Leicester defense. But, just as the opportunity to shoot presented itself, an offside Anthony Elanga stepped in the way, and the opportunity was lost.
Leicester comes within a whisker of achieving a historic victory.
Leicester’s lackluster start may be excused, considering that the Europa Conference League is their last chance of salvaging anything substantial from this injury-plagued year, beginning with Thursday’s quarter-final first leg against PSV Eindhoven.
Jonny Evans and Wesley Fofana returned to the starting lineup for the first time since the FA Cup final in May, giving Brendan Rodgers hope.
Leicester increased in confidence as a result of the lack of quality from the hosts, and Iheanacho should have put them ahead before the interval when he scuffed a shot from the outskirts of the box wide after the Nigerian had been left completely unmarked.
If Leicester had won, it would have been the first time they had won consecutive away games at Old Trafford, and Rodgers’ chagrin would have been that his team did not hang on to their lead for long enough.
Despite United’s equalizer, they still posed the stronger danger. After Jadon Sancho’s poor backpass had given him through, Iheanacho chipped over from an acute angle, then Fofana forced a brilliant stop from David de Gea with a header that was heading for the top corner.
When the goal was ruled out, Rodgers felt Maddison had won it and questioned fourth official Martin Atkinson. Even after the choice had been conveyed to him, he was still doubtful.
