Manchester United closed the gap on Arsenal and Liverpool above them on Sunday with an excellent win over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.

Goals from Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Juan Mata gave the Red Devils an important victory and they are now just two points behind the UEFA Champions League qualifying positions.

Mourinho's men were dominant from start to finish and never looked like losing the match. A first half lacking quality burst into life three minutes from the break when Mkhitaryan finished superbly and Ibrahimovic followed that up just moments later with a powerful effort.

For Leicester, their bad run continues and they are now just one point above the relegation zone. It was another worrying performance and Ranieri must be scratching his head about how to spark last season's title winning squad into life.

It was a United display that thrilled their fans and they took to Twitter to share their joy...
