Cristiano Ronaldo started this Thursday on the bench of Manchester United at the King Power Stadium against Leicester on the last day of the summer market and came on in the 68th minute to replace Jadon Sancho, whose goal saved Old Trafford (0-1). At this point, CR7 hopes to find a team which to play the Champions, but without success.
For Manchester United this is the third victory in a rowalthough his performance was still unexpected, as it also allowed him to finish fifth in the Premier table. Casemiro is also a starting substitute. The former Madrid midfielder came on in the 59th minute for Anthony Elanga. Meanwhile, for Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester the test continues, as they are at the bottom and in 5 games they have managed only one point.
The play that gave Manchester United the victory occurred in the 22nd minute. It was a good combination where Marcus Rashford served the ball to Sanchowho scored after dribbling past Danny Ward, Leicester’s starting goalkeeper after Kasper Schmeichel’s departure.
All attempts by Erik ten Hag’s men to increase their lead and thus gain peace of mind were unsuccessful, as well as Cristiano Ronaldo’s in the last part of the matchwhere he did a few times and came close to scoring with a volley.
Leicester had few chances to level the game, but they did exist, including two shots from James Maddison to which David De Gea responded with a fantastic intervention. Until the end the ‘Foxes’ fought to save at least a point, as United were unable to sentence the match and therefore had to suffer. However. Iheanacho came close to scoring Ten Hag’s second with an own goal.
