Usain Bolt meets club legends, Paul Pogba's dabbing habit gets worse and Rio Ferdinand is still very much a Red Devil... Seven things you missed from Manchester United vs Leicester

Usain Bolt meets club legends, Paul Pogba's dabbing habit gets worse and Rio Ferdinand is still very much a Red Devil... Seven things you missed from Manchester United vs Leicester

  • Manchester United comfortably beat Leicester 2-0 at Old Trafford on Saturday
  • Juan Mata scored a disallowed goal and highlights showed he was just offside
  • Usain Bolt was in attendance and had clearly spent some money in the club shop
  • Paul Pogba was spotted pulling off a subtle dab even though he didn't score
  • Rio Ferdinand was videoed reacting to United's missed penalty and first goal 
Manchester United continued their excellent start to the season with a comfortable win over Leicester. 
The result didn't reflect how the game panned out as United once again looked menacing going forward and were dominant throughout. 
Kasper Schmeichel performed brilliantly to keep the scoreline respectable and saved Romelu Lukaku's penalty before finally conceding to goals from substitutes Marcus Rahsford and Marouane Fellaini.
The victory keeps Jose Mourinho's men top of the Premier League table after three games. 
Here are seven things you might have missed from the match at Old Trafford.

A hairline thread away from giving Manchester United the lead
Juan Mata converted for United in the first half after Kasper Schmeichel spilled Romelu Lukaku's sharp effort but the linesman flagged for offside.
But this was no routine offside call. Credit where credit is due, the eagle-eyed linesman immediately flagged, there were no doubts from the official. 
Just as well, as he was denying the Stretford End a goal and to make such a brave call you better hope you're right.
And there were no worries about that as the linesman was spot on with his call, just about.

Usain Bolt paid a visit to the club shop and met club legends
The eight-time Olympic gold medallist has confessed several times to being an avid Manchester United fan. 
And this pretty much confirms it. The Jamaican was spotted watching on from the Old Trafford stands with friends donning a Manchester United cap and scarf. 
The club shop must have ran out of No 1 foam fingers because that was the only thing missing from his outfit.
Bolt also got the opportunity to meet United legends Sir Alex Ferguson, Sir Bobby Charlton and even had time to hold their Europa League Cup they won last season.

Fergie is back in the house
Former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is not an unfamiliar figure around Old Trafford and he was in attendance again for the game against Leicester.
Despite retiring as United boss the 75-year-old is still regularly seen in the Old Trafford stands.
And Fergie seemingly enjoys the fan experience much more than the intense pressures of management and was seen with a big grin on his face as he took his seat for the match.

Does Paul Pogba ever stop dabbing?
We know Paul Pogba's preferred choice of a goal celebration is to pull out a dab but now he's even doing them before the ball has actually hit the net. 
The France international appears to make a subtle dab as he falls over and scuffs a shot wide. 
Many thought his dabbing was incessant even before this but it seems the 24-year-old literally cannot stop.

The penalty should have been retaken
Schmeichel advanced well off his line to save Lukaku's penalty which is an infringement and should have resulted in a retaken penalty and a caution.
The laws of the game state the defending goalkeeper must remain on the goal line, facing the kicker, between the goalposts until the ball has been kicked.
But the Danish keeper left his line before the kick had been taken and saved Lukaku's effort. 
If the Belgian striker had have scored the goal would have stood regardless of the infringement, but because he missed the referee should have ordered the penalty to have been retaken and booked Schmeichel.

Ferdinand's delight
From despair to pandemonium. Rio Ferdinand reacts to United's missed penalty and opening goal. 
The former Red Devils defender was in utter disbelief when Lukaku's penalty was saved by the Leicester keeper which prompted Robbie Savage to rub salt in the wounds. 
But Ferdinand got his own back and repeatedly rubbed Savage's shoulder in celebration after Rashford converted from a corner.
The 38-year-old is clearly still a huge United fan.  
'Pogkaku' 
One United fan had this ingenious idea. 
The fan is seen before the game sporting 'Pogkaku' on the back of his United away strip.  
It is a combination of Pogba and Lukaku and he has even combined the two players' numbers. 
The France international wears the number six while Lukaku is United's number nine.
