  • Slow starts had been a feature for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men on the road this season as they had won their previous six away league games despite conceding first.
  • Harvey Barnes's fierce strike cancelled out Marcus Rashford's opener before half-time.
  • Bruno Fernandes thought he had claimed another away win 11 minutes from time, but Jamie Vardy's predatory instincts kept Leicester one point and one place above United in the table as his shot deflected in off Tuanzebe.
