United made a blistering start to the season, winning four of their opening five league games, scoring 16 goals in the process, with the attack spearheaded by new striker Lukaku. Lukaku created two big chances for Martial and Jesse Lingard with defence-splitting passes, but both were not converted which cost United as Leicester snatched a last-gasp point. Paul Pogba has five assists to his name despite having played just nine Premier League games, but such ability on the ball makes him a marked man. Having created just three big chances all season prior to Saturday, Lukaku proved he can adapt his game to give Mourinho more options. Over a busy festive period, where any slip up by runaway leaders Manchester City could see United at least put pressure on their rivals, Lukaku could silence his doubters in other ways than just scoring goals.
