The whistle goes to end a dramatic first half at Old Trafford. It's fair to say that it could have gone better for Leicester, who have been demolished by a Rooney-less United.
There will be two minutes of time added on at the end of the half... that's more than enough for United to stretch their lead at the rate they're going!
What is going on?! Pogba gets the run on his marker from a corner and glances an excellent header across the helpless Zieler and into the corner of the net. It's his first goal for his club!
GOOOAAALLL!!! It's another! This is unbelievable. It's Paul Pogba from a corner and it's 4-0 before half-time!

Leicester completely switched off from a corner and a flick on picked out Rashford in acres of space to tuck home. It's been a sensational half for United and the home crowd are delirious... except for maybe a certain 30-year-old on the bench.
GOOOAAALLL!!! It's 3-0 and it's Marcus Rashford! This is a rout!

GOOOAAALLL!!! Juan Mata makes it 2-0 after silky interplay between the Spaniard, Pogba and Lingard. It's a quality goal and United are in complete control of this game.

J. Mata
Mahrez and Albrighton combine and the former tries to lure Smalling into a challenge inside the box. However, United's captain holds his ground and Mahrez is forced to try and squeeze a cross in from a tight angle, which is comfortably claimed by De Gea.
Pogba's such a brilliant player to watch and he's linking up nicely with Zlatan today. United's play has zip and pace to it, which won't have gone unnoticed by detractors of the absent Rooney.
Pogba whips in a dipping shot from range, but Zieler gets across and makes the save. The Frenchman's been playing much higher up the pitch in the last few minutes, which has coincided with United's most dangerous spell of the match. Those two things are naturally completely unrelated.
The hosts are bossing it since the opening goal and almost add an unbelievable second when Pogba dinks a delightful pass over the top to find the run of Zlatan, who controls on his chest on the turn and volleys just over the bar. What a move!
Leicester are caught wide open on the break and Ibrahimovic picks out the perfect pass to set up Marcus Rashford. The youngster's first touch takes him a little bit wider than he'd have liked, and his second touch is arguably the worst of his fledgling career, picking out row Z.
Huth was supposed to be marking Smalling, but lost his man and left way too much space for United's captain.
GOOOAAALLL!!! Chris Smalling slams home a header from a corner to open the scoring for Manchester United. 1-0.

And, of course, there's the issue of Paul Pogba playing too deep to have a creative influence on the game...
