Leicester 0-1 Man Utd: Rashford delivers again as Utd overtake Arsenal in 5th
Manchester United edged past Leicester City at the King Power Stadium to boost their hopes of a top-four finish.
Marcus Rashford marked his 100th Premier League appearance with the only goal as Manchester United saw off Leicester City 1-0 on Sunday.
The England striker finished clinically from Paul Pogba's pass to earn United an eighth win in nine league games under caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Their winning run had been halted by Burnley on Tuesday, when the Red Devils fought back from 2-0 down to claim a dramatic 2-2 draw, but the three points rarely looked in much doubt after Rashford's 10th top-flight goal of the season.

9' GOAL! Leicester 0-1 Man Utd (Rashford)
United's main men under Solskjaer link up again for a brilliant goal, but Puel will be tearing his hair out.
Right-back Pereira's clearance goes straight to Pogba in the middle of the pitch. He takes it down, and clips the ball over the top for Rashford.
The England striker's touch is brilliant and he calmly slots the ball past Schmeichel and into the back of the net.
45' CHANCE! Rashford's long shot saved
Leicester lose the ball near their own box and almost pay the price again. This time Rashford's shot from the edge of the area is gathered by Schmeichel.
60' Amazing save from De Gea to deny Vardy
Maddison's free-kick is poor and straight into the wall. The ball loops up and is met acrobatically by Vardy, but his effort is straight at De gea who gathers it at the second attempt.
77' GREAT SAVE made by De Gea!
Ghezzal is bundled over by Shaw, and the Leicester substitute takes a wicked free-kick that looked to be heading for the top-left corner but for another vintage diving De Gea stop at full-stretch!
