Manchester United Vs Leicester City

Despite falling to a 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford, the impact of the trio was evident almost immediately. 40% of Leicester City’s attacks came from the left (24% middle; 36% right), as can be seen in the graphic below.

Demarai Gray was Leicester City’s man of the match at Old Trafford, completing five of his six attempted dribbles.

He also had three attempts on goal, completed 30 passes, and won all of his attempted tackles. It was an encouraging start to the new season for him, with signs that he is stepping out of the shadow of Mahrez and Albrighton.
