Hit: Ander Herrera

The Spanish international may not hog the limelight like many other glamorous names besides him, but it does little to hinder his influence in a match. Against Leicester, Ander Herrera was imperious, putting on a man of the match performance yet again.

Especially in the first half, he was the chief orchestrator by acting as a nexus between the defence and the midfield and also stringing together passes as the visitors looked to build on the early advantage. His 61 passes in the game were bettered only by Pogba and Luke Shaw, whereas Herrera also completed three dribbles in the match.

He didn't get many whiffs of the ball after the break, but the Spaniard was nonetheless involved in the proceedings with some forward passes and also profoundly helping out at the back: he made five tackles, two clearances and four interceptions.

A superb all-around performance from United's midfield metronome.
