Not this time round, as Ndidi clears. United reclaim the ball in Leicester's half, but then Simpson picks their pockets to relieve the danger.
86'
Rashford earns a throw in Leicester's right corner and immediately plays it in himself to earn a corner. Could United make it three?

Goal Marouane Fellaini-Bakkioui
81'
It's been a great performance from Leicester in the setting of this match - very much going toe-to-toe with a United side who have blown away their opposition so far in the Premier League. It will be a shame if they can't salvage a point at least.

74'
M. Fellaini enters the game and replaces H. Mkhitaryan.
A second change for United now as Mkhitaryan is replaced by Fellaini.

70'
M. Rashford has scored a goal for Manchester United! Assist by H. Mkhitaryan.
RASHFORD! It's taken seventy minutes, but it's the teenager, on off the bench, who catches a Pogba header from a Blind corner and tucks it past Schmeichel with his right foot. 1-0 to United.
Assist Henrikh Mkhitaryan
Goal Marcus Rashford
68'
It must be said, a lot of the chances United have had have not come from terrible fragility from Leicester. It's mainly been the big guns fancying a chance from long range or set pieces.
67'
M. Rashford enters the game and replaces Mata.
Rashford indeed joins the game, in lieu of Mata.
Substitution Juan Manuel Mata García Marcus Rashford
66'
This time, Maguire pishes onto Mahrez, who cuts back inside on the right edge of the box and only just flicks it wide.
64'
Marcus Rashford is perched on the touchline as United play the ball around in midfield. Is he about to join the fray? Maguire pushes the ball forward down the right but is unable to control it enough and Valencia clears up.
62'
United are once againg creating the lion's share of chances - but it's City who look the more potent in short bursts here, thanks in part to Schmeichel playing a great second-half so far.
60'
D. Gray enters the game and replaces M. Albrighton.
A. King enters the game and replaces S. Okazaki.
Down the other end, Jones manages to force out a Mahrez attempt. Double changes for Leicester now as Okazaki and Albrighton make way for King and Gray.
Substitution Marc Albrighton Demarai Gray
Substitution Shinji Okazaki Andy King
59'
Mkhitaryan is wasteful of a lovely back-heel from Mata in the box, and rues the missed chance.
57'
Vardy breaks down the middle and puts it out left to James, who returns to the England man. He then plays it out wide to Mahrez - but his cross only finds Valencia.
55'
United can't make anything of it from the corner either and then Mkhitaryan is booked for a reckless challenge.
54'
H. Mkhitaryan gets yellow.
Yellow card Henrikh Mkhitaryan

50'
Appeals for a penalty by Lukaku as he goes down softly at the edge of the box but none are forthcoming.
49'

47'
Martial tries a left-footer from the edge of the box but it rebounds to Schmeichel who puts it out for a United throw. The danger remains present until Blind scuffs it out as he attempts to evade Maguire.

45'
Pogba brings Okazaki down in front of the United box - and Leicester get the free kick. A single extra minute coming.

Mata and Albrighton come together in midfield, and both slip - with advantage played for United. Blind tries to get one off but can't quite turn it in from the left.
41'
Blind puts another strong ball into the box for Lukaku but the former Everton man can't quite get his head to it the way he wants to.
40'
Fuchs is thankfully OK and Leicester now push up. Maguire chances his luck far out on the right wing with a lovely cross but De Gea is wise to it.
38'
Valencia and Fuchs leaps for a high ball and clash, with the latter coming off worse. He tumbles to the ground and holds his head in stilted agony.
37'
The Frenchman's shot hits the wall and flies high - Schmeichel collects as it comes back to earth.

29'
Another Martial pass back to Pogba, another shot goes wide. There is a sense of regularity coming into play all of a sudden.
28'
Martial breaks down the right and ultimately plays it back across to Pogba - but he makes a waste of the ball, putting his shot half a mile above and to the right.
26'
City push it down their left flank before coming back on themselves and playing across the bacj four. United have found a new gear in the last five minutes or so.
24'
Pogba now! He cuts loose with a beauty of a strike, aiming for the top left corner about forty yards away - and it skims a few inches too far to the side.
23'
Okazaki shoots! De Gea gets hands to the ball, after Vardy made a neat little back-heel to his team-mate, who let loose with a strike along the ground from twenty yards out.
21'
Blind takes, but Leicester's defenders - led by Simpson and Fuchs - clear the ball downfield rapidly, if not expertly. Frantic stuff.

And now Mata is denied again! He tries a nice little chip shot that Schmeichel has to dive to save. Corner to United.
19'
Now Pogba goes close! A Martial cross finds the Frenchman, but he slices his shot across the face of goal from seven yards out to the right.

17'
Vardy canters downfield again on a great little run, and Jones is forced to clean up sharply. Foxes prowling with intent.
15'

4'
Leicester get a throw on their left, and force it deep into United territory - but James miscues his shot and sends it sprawling wide to the right.

1'
Lukaku gets us underway with a tap back and United immediately find their way into the Leicester box, only for Mkhitaryan to be unable to twist it in from the right. Straight out of the gates from the home side.
Good evening, and welcome to live coverage of the final game today of the Premier League, as an unbeaten Manchester United side take on former champions Leicester City on a sunny Northern evening. The Red Devils were comprehensively leading the competition coming into this weekend, after opening 4-0 victories over West Ham and Swansea – but today they host a Foxes team hungry to reclaim a place at the high table, on the back of an opening-day seven-goal thriller with Arsenal and victory against Brighton. Can the men from the Midlands pick up three points against in-form opponents? Kick-off is just around the corner.
The biggest news coming out of Old Trafford this week of course is the announcement that United have re-signed Zlatan Ibrahimovic on a one-year deal after his release in June. The Swedish striker made 46 appearances and netted 28 times for the club after his arrival last summer – but his future had been up in the air after a knee injury ended his season prematurely. Manager Jose Mourinho has described him as the “extra man” for the post-Christmas period – when United will hope to be into the last sixteen of the Champions League.
Leicester meanwhile have scored five goals for three points so far this year, after that barmy opening game with the Gunners. Craig Shakespeare has oversaw a comfortable victory for his men in the EFL Cup too in midweek, running out 4-1 winners against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane. It’s been a good week for former United man and new Foxes star Harry Maguire too – he’s one of three new faces called up to the England national team ahead of the World Cup qualifiers.
They may have tucked away eight goals already this season in the league, but United are yet to convert one of the myriad of chances afforded them so far. Leicester are more than holding their own too - with Shinji Okazaki and Harry Maguire running themselves all over the place in a good harrying game. Half-time at Old Trafford, it's Manchester United 0-0 Leicester City.
It took well over three-quarters of the game - and a little bit of switching off at the back - but Manchester United secured three points once more thanks to goals from Marcus Rasford and Marouane Fellaini. It was a full-throttle, if scattershot performance from the hosts - foiled often by a spirited Leicester City side and their keeper Kasper Schmeichel who were unable to convert their own chances too. Final score at Old Trafford, Manchester United 2-0 Leicester City.
Both teams have a fortnight off, of course, as we head into the international break - and it is United who will go into that period atop the table, returning the summit after briefly being displaced by Huddersfielld. As for Leicester, they slip to fifteenth - and have to tangle with Chelsea upon their return. But they've got time to regroup yet - and they're still looking like a side with Premier League quality. Until the next time, thank you and goodbye!
