Manchester United 2 Leicester City 1: Pogba, Shaw secure win despite Vardy's late strike

Manchester United saw off Leicester City in the Premier League's opener, with Paul Pogba and Luke Shaw getting the goals at Old Trafford.

Goals from Paul Pogba and Luke Shaw secured Manchester United an underwhelming 2-1 victory over Leicester City in the opening game of the 2018-19 Premier League season.

United went into the campaign on the back of a tumultuous pre-season that was dominated by discontent and a lack of signings, leading to Jose Mourinho making veiled digs at the club's hierarchy and, while they secured all three points at home, the team's display was hardly an emphatic response.
