Marcus Rashford's Goal Leads Manchester United to Shutout Win vs. Leicester City

Manchester United beat Leicester City 1-0 at the King Power Stadium on Sunday to go fifth in the Premier League.

Marcus Rashford gave the visitors a deserved lead after just nine minutes. Having earlier missed the target with a free header from close range, the striker made amends when he fired low past Kasper Schmeichel after being picked out by Paul Pogba with a delightful ball over the top.

David De Gea was on hand to keep out Jamie Vardy's acrobatic second-half volley and Rachid Ghezzal's free-kick as Leicester improved, but the Red Devils' lead was not significantly threatened by the hosts.
