How Manchester United beat Leicester City 1-0 to move up to fifth in Premier League table - live

Thanks for tuning in for today's live match blog, we'll see you next time!

If any man could pull it off...

Manchester United take on league leaders Arsenal at Old Trafford on Sunday. With United rounding into form and Arsenal still perfect on the season, this looks to be a cracking match.

Leicester City will try again for their first Premier League victory of the season on Sunday when they travel to Brighton. It will be a stern test as Graham Potter's men have started the season quite well, sitting in fourth place with three wins and a draw from their first five matches.

"I thought we were unfortunate to lose the game. The players gave everything. Their energy and intensity in the game was really good."

"We had opportunities in the game. A little bit of craft in the final third of the field we lacked, to be honest. I can't fault the guys for effort and mentality in the game."

On Leicester City's poor start to the season: "We won't hide, and certainly I won't because it's my responsibility. We know we have to pick up on our results."

“A step forward. We are happy with that and again a good team spirit and 11 players on the pitch fighting for each other.”

"I am happy with the clean sheet. The 11 on the pitch defend together and attack together.

"We have to be more [ruthless]. We will work on that."

As our Leicester City reporter Rob Tanner points out, a chorus of boos from the home fans rang out at the final whistle. Just seven seasons on from their miraculous Premier League championship, Leicester appear to be in real danger of relegation.

FT 1-0 to United and a chorus of boos again from the #LCFC fans. One point from a possible 15 and Rodgers and his players desperately need a result to dispel some of the gloom. Next up, Brighton away.

With three wins on the bounce, United supporters are feeling a bit better!

Another cohesive performance from #MUFC. Not sparkling but controlled majority of game + clear signs of training moves.

Ronaldo brought renewed attacking purpose off bench.

A smothering defensive performance on the road saw Manchester United take their third straight Premier League victory, their first three-game winning streak in the league since December. It's been a strong turnaround for United since dropping their first two matches against Brighton and Brentford by a combined score of 6-1.

Another loss for Leicester City leaves Brendan Rodgers' side with just one point through their first five Premier League matches. It's their worst-ever five-match start to a Premier League season.

The ref blows the whistle and United have beaten Leicester, earning consecutive Premier League away wins for the first time since last September.

James Justin finds some space on the right wing, but blazes his shot well over the bar.

Maddison gathers the ball in front of the center of the penalty area, but his shot flies well over the bar.

Just four minutes left for Leicester to find an equaliser.

Fernandes' cross deflects off of Iheanacho and almost goes in for an own goal. That surely would have killed the game off.

Vardy, having just received a yellow card, makes way for Patson Daka. Rashford is replaced by Fred.

Ronaldo tries an audacious bicycle kick, and doesn't miss by much!

Ronaldo tries to find Eriksen in the box, but Evans is there to block his cross. Rashford scuffs his follow-up shot just wide.

Just ten minutes left plus stoppage time for the hosts to find an equaliser, but United are doing a good job of strangling the game.

Youri Tielemans makes way for the Nigerian forward. Iheanacho recorded a goal and an assist in two Premier League matches against United last season.
