UNITED RATED

- BY SAMUEL LUCKHURST

DEAN HENDERSON

Saved well from Vardy at 0-0 and hollered encouragem­ent before and after Fred’s howler. Could do nothing about goals.

AARON WAN-BISSAKA

Present in defence but absent in attack for the umpteenth time this season. United’s width came from the left-backs.

VICTOR LINDELOF

Fared reasonably against Vardy in another watchable duel between the pair. Blameless for any of the goals.

HARRY MAGUIRE

Played Fred into a spot of bother and generally clumsy, upended Iheanacho and Got done by Vardy.

ALEX TELLES

Assured on the ball and diligent defensivel­y but made way for Luke Shaw as United chased the game.

NEMANJA MATIC

Beggared belief United had Matic and Fred as their midfield duo with others available.

FRED

Sometimes you watch Fred and draw the conclusion he can’t pass, can’t tackle and can’t shoot.

MASON GREENWOOD

First goal in 16 games. Failed to kick-on, although he was not helped by United’s substituti­on strategy.

DONNY VAN DE BEEK

Tidy enough and his dummy was more memorable than Pogba’s pass or Greenwood’s finish. Taken off on 64 minutes.

PAUL POGBA

Under-used until he got into the Leicester third and assisted Greenwood. He also made way with United 2-1 down.

ANTHONY MARTIAL

Looked like he had missed two games through injury and never troubled Evans or Soyuncu. 5 6 4
