#3 Still the same old story for Manchester United
Manchester United kicked off the new Premier League campaign, hosting Leicester City at home on Friday at Old Trafford, and the Red Devils got off to the best possible start, winning and converting a penalty inside two minutes.

The early goal should have served as the catalyst for United to take the initiative, but true to form in typical Mourinho way, the club seemed content to sit back and protect its slender lead, handing all the attacking edge to the visiting team.
The match was characterized by all the complaints United fans have had since Fergie departed the club, with Manchester United engaging in a snoozefest of boring football, which lacked any sort of entertainment value.
Marcus Rashford cut a frustrated figure up front, as he found himself the furthest United player (mostly 10 yards into his own half) and was often on his own when a chance to break came up.
Manchester United were disconnected in their attacks, with Sanchez characteristically being dispossessed in a sloppy manner, as United struggled to create any worthy attacking threat to the Leicester goal. Indeed, when their second goal did arrive, it was as a result of individual brilliance by Luke Shaw and not any coherent attacking play.
Unsurprisingly, the only players who came out of the match with their reputations enhanced were defenders Eric Bailly, Luke Shaw and Victor Lindelof along with skipper for the night Paul Pogba.
