Following a summer where Jose Mourinho hasn't had his way in the transfer market, it was important that Manchester United got off to a good start in their opening game against Leicester.
The home team started the game well and took an early lead courtesy of a Paul Pogba penalty, won by Alexis Sanchez. As if there were any doubts that the midfielder would come back to Manchester full of confidence following his confirmation as a world champion. Wearing the captain's armband, he assumed responsibility for the spot kick and made it impossible for Kasper Schmeichel to keep it out.
