Manchester United’s most expensive player, Paul Pogba, has scored his first goal against Leicester City, since his £89 million move from Juventus.
The match, played on Saturday, ended 4-1, with goals from Chris Smalling, Juan Mata and Marcus Rashford.
United thrashed the league champions as boss Jose Mourinho, dropped captain Wayne Rooney from his starting line-up.
Smalling’s header put United ahead before Mata finished off a sleek move with a decent strike.
Rashford and Pogba scored from corners, with Demarai Gray’s spectacular long-range strike the only consolation for Leicester.
Rooney came on in the 83rd minute, before the end of the match.
