A really comfortable evening for Ruben's Reds as United came out victorious at the King Power before heading into the international break.
What we saw was a continuation of the good performances against Real Sociedad and Arsenal, something that Amorim will no doubt have wanted to see from his players.
Delivering consistently good displays is what we need to see more of from here on. That is the challenge.
1. Too sloppy
Particularly down the left flank.
It was inexplicable just how many times we gave the ball away by not passing it properly, bad control or making the wrong decision.
Between Eriksen and Dalot, I think they forgot which team they were playing for and perhaps may have wanted a transfer with the amount of times they were giving possession to the Foxes.
The home side actually had more possession than us (54%-46%) and a higher passing accuracy of 83% to 77%. A pretty poor stat for United when coming up against such a terrible outfit in Leicester.
We also didn't move the ball quick enough at times often slowing things down when the opportunity to take advantage of Leicester's high line was there. For some reason, we would slow things down and pass backwards which kills the move before it begins.
This just showed that despite what was a strong showing from the visitors, that lack of care with the ball and poor decision-making at times was still plain to see.
2. Collyer versatality
It seems that regardless of where this boy is asked to play, he will do a good job.
Replacing the injured Heaven, Collyer was asked to play as the right wing-back with Mazraoui moving deeper as part of the back three.
While Collyer didn't do exactly what is required of a wing-back, what he was asked to do, he did pretty well especially with the defensive side of things.
I also find that the young midfielder is quite calm and composed in possession and often makes the correct choice when it comes to his decision-making.
It's also always a great thing to have players that are multi-purpose, players whom you know that should you need them to slot in out of position, they will still give everything and perform at a decent level.
For one so young like Collyer to be this type of player and one that Amorim looked to for this despite having the option of putting Casemiro in defense, a more experienced player who isn't unaccustomed to that centre-back role, tells you how much faith the manager has in Collyer. Will give the youngster a lot of confidence moving forward.
Really good to have him back and definitely one for the future.
3. Garnacho on the right works
This seems to be a debate that happens all the time in that we don't know which side Garnacho suits best. Is it the left, is it the right?
However, according to his manager, Amorim says that with the star boy "I think he is playing really well on the right."
Perhaps we've now found his best place in the team?
It's hard to argue with this though, as Garnacho does appear to have upped his game a bit. A lot of people believed that moving him over to the right was to take away that wont to cut in and shoot as he won't do so as much on his weaker left-foot.
This is probably part of the reasoning for this shift of position as well but it also causes him to sometimes go down the line and put in a cross due to being on his favored side while also using the overlapping run of his wing-back a lot more because he doesn't cut in and shoot as much.
I also find that Garnacho's positioning in and around the box is much better as he does get into more dangerous areas.
Deciding which flank to play him on is the same problem we've had with several other wide players because all of them liked to cut in and shoot on their stronger foot due to the inverted winger.
Playing on the wing is also different from playing as one of two number 10s which may have also caused Garnacho to adapt his game a little.
This more traditional approach may have been what was necessary to get the best out of him.
4. Simplified Bruno = better Bruno?
A lot of people will be thinking 'what am I on about?' as the magnifico has been magnificent for quite some time now.
What I'm on about is that in this performance, he didn't try to do too much. His game was very simple without too many Hollywood shots and passes. It was much more disciplined from the skipper to a point where I believe this was his best performance this season.
I know he got a hat-trick against Sociedad and has had other top games but it's because of this simplicity that I feel he was a level above all his other matches.
Some of the previous 'top' performances were masked with goals and/or assists which of course, are important, but for me, it's about the overall performance that does the trick.
When Bruno keeps it simple and does the basics of what's needed of a number 8 (easy passing, slowing the tempo or speeding it up whenever necessary, tracking back, good defensive work) he is a much better player.
Add the goals and assists he gets and he is even better still.
With his 2 assists and goal, the captain is now the first player since Wayne Rooney to get 50+ goals and 50+ assists in the Premier League for United. A quite incredible stat.
He joins:
Wayne Rooney
Ryan Giggs
Paul Scholes
Eric Cantona
David Beckham
as the only players to have achieved this feat.
This is the type of performance I want to see from the magnifico more often. It's not always about the goals and assists.
5. Confidence victory
This was the fourth game in a row where I believed we played some of the best football we've seen under Amorim: Real Sociedad x2, Arsenal and Leicester.
More than that, it's the consistency of the performances that have been the impressive thing.
United were quite a boring side to watch who hardly created any chances and would fail to win more often than not. These previous four matches have seen an upturn in all those things as we now are a somewhat entertaining side as we do create chances and in these last two, score some goals.
United have netted 7 against Sociedad (second leg) and Leicester. The previous five had seen us score just 8 goals with three of those fixtures being 1-1 draws.
Is this a sign that perhaps the players are starting to get used to the system?
As much as the team overall has improved, many of those players' individual performances have gotten better in this time as well. Casemiro, Dalot, Zirkzee, Hojlund and Garnacho were all players who have rightly been criticized for their lackluster displays.
All of them have improved with the last three scoring and/or assisting in three of the last four. United also should've won these four matches.
While this is nothing to write home about (yet) to know that the team is playing better is a step in the right direction.
A pity that the international break has come when it has because we have started to build some momentum. It's now about trying to keep it going post the break because we will be entering the crunch period of the campaign that will make or break this season.
