#3 United have left the frustrations of the transfer window behind

The transfer window this season has been one to forget for United so far and fans were clearly upset at the end of the transfer deadline day. There was no defensive reinforcement, no new player to fight for the right side of attack and none of the potential targets made it to Old Trafford. Add to that the speculations surrounding Paul Pogba.

But after the start of the game, United, with their free-flowing game, must have made all their fans forget about the frustrations of their Transfer Business. United looked unstoppable in the counter-attack many times in the game and it was only unforced individual errors that let them down.

Everyone had a good game, even Darmian, who was caught off guard by Gray quite often, but recovered well and even had a shot on target to talk about. United had a purpose about them and seemed to have used all the negativity in the press to motivate themselves. And by winning the game against a Leicester City side who fought till the end, Manchester United seems to have quickly move ahead from the frustrations of the summer and that can only be good news.
