For the first time since the end of 2021, last night (Thursday) Manchester United managed to string together three consecutive league victories, and it seems that no one remembers the bad summer of Eric Ten Haag and his players.
The Red Devils have deepened Leicester's crisis, and now they are already looking ahead to the big meeting against Arsenal on Sunday.
Still without Antony, and with Cristiano Ronaldo and Casemiro once again out of the squad, United scraped out a win without impressing too much, but can be pleased not to have conceded a second game in a row.
"It was a great team goal and I'm glad we got these three points," said goalscorer Jadon Sancho.
"I know these players much better after missing the preseason last year. We were hoping to start this season better, but the two losses woke us up. I'm happy we got a third win in a row."

"We can be more dangerous in the transition attacks," Ten Haah insisted.
"We had a lot of empty spaces in the second half, but we didn't take advantage of them. We are satisfied, and again we saw a good team spirit and 11 players fighting for each other. We still need to be more brutal, there is room for improvement. We have 11 players who do defense and attack together, You see where we can go."
When asked if the new acquisition, Antony, will play against Arsenal, he replied: "We'll see on Sunday. It's going to be the serious test for us and we're waiting for it, in this game we'll see where we are. Of course I'm very happy about his signing. He'll bring brilliance, creativity and a fighting spirit." .

The coach said about Cristiano Ronaldo: "A third consecutive bench?
It's early in the season, we have a full squad, not just 11 players.
Cristiano will have a big and significant part in the team, later he and Casemiro will be more fit"
On the other hand, the Foxes are counting their fourth league loss in a row for the first time since February 2017, and are experiencing their worst start to a season since 1994. "We were unlucky with this loss," claimed Brendan Rodgers.
"The players gave everything. It's a very bad start to the season and I'm not going to hide, it's my responsibility. With all due respect, the team didn't get the help it needed during the transfer window, we lack quality."
