Manchester United 2-1 Leicester City: 4 key takeaways

#2 Gray and Maddison can ease the pain of losing Mahrez

Demarai Gray

Two of Leicester's midfield playmakers, including summer signing from Norwich. James Maddison, and Demarai Gray, were ever-presents in possession, threatening De Gea and supplying Iheanacho well throughout the game.

Gray was a major threat down the left, beating his defender almost every time, and was even willing to run the opposite way and protect his backline.

Maddison popped up in all attacking areas, as you'd want from a Premier League No. 10, and was also in the right place at the right time to force De Gea to act quickly.

After Riyad Mahrez finally got his wish to leave, joining Manchester City, worried Foxes fans were unsure of how they would cope, but in Gray and Maddison, there is plenty of energy and life in the Leicester midfield.
