Twitter explodes as Manchester United beat Leicester thanks to Mourinho's super-subs

After a tough start, Manchester United eased away to a 2-0 win in a game that they dominated from first whistle to last - i said tough start because it reminded me of the many draws that United had to endure during their abysmal domestic season last time around.

There's something different about this United, though, and it was evident for all to see as Rashford, and then Fellaini, secured three points for the boys in red.

Twitter, as ever, loved it.

His substitutions have been spot on this season, till now:

The Martial/Rashford conundrum, though:

Lemme get this straight: Martial only scores when he comes on and Rashford starts. And Rashford only scores when Martial starts. That right?

How's this for a stat, though:

Your stat of the day. Kasper Schmeichel has saved more Premier League penalties at Old Trafford than his Dad Peter...

Paul Pogba, though, was everywhere today

This will remain a mystery forever, me thinks:

Clear to see how much Nemanja Mati? frees up Paul Pogba. Perfect balance. Still bemused as to why Chelsea sold him to Manchester United.

The truth:

Feels so good to not have David De Gea as a Man of the Match contender.

Still a boss:

Oh Deano, you blithering fool:

Good game, this, though slightly marred by the absence of Mike Dean trying to ruin it for everyone.

The love for this big Belgian, though, knows no bounds:

He scores when he wants! Even if it's with his knee. pic.twitter.com/p8A5qOS9ve

This is why FPL is so inane:
