Leicester City vs Manchester United - 5 Key Talking Points

#2 Lukaku and Lingard are linking up superbly

Lukaku celebrates Mata's goal with his usual enthusiasm

Romelu Lukaku has been getting a lot of stick for his recent performances, but this might just have been his best performance, overall, in a United shirt without scoring a goal. His positioning was superb, his link-up play was sublime - the partnership with Jesse Lingard particularly looks like it's coming along very nicely indeed - he was selfless and played some incredible balls into the feet of Lingard and Martial... and he really ought to have gone home with at least two assists to his name.

As it is, the noose of not-scoring will continue to hang over his head and one can only hope that United's finishing improves over the festive period. Till then, let's all just give big Romelu Lukaku a break, eh?

Poor sod.
