Twitter reacts as Man United wins Premier League opener
Manchester United secured a comfortable win on the first day of the 2018-19 Premier League season with a 2-1 win over Leicester City at Old Trafford.
It was the perfect start to the new season for the Red Devils as they secured a 2-1 victory over the Foxes.
The World Cup winner Paul Pogba scored an early penalty after just two minutes following a handball.
The hosts eventually double their lead when the left-back Luke Shaw scored his first ever senior goal.
Leicester’s Jamie Vardy struck late to halve the deficit after Pogba and Shaw gave United a two-goal lead.

Could get used to seeing Paul Pogba as captain. Another stellar performance. Manchester United’s midfield tonight flowed well. Fred needs more minutes, obviously, but a good debut.

Luke Shaw’s goal just goes to show that if your manager spends enough years mentally and verbally abusing you in private and public you might still eventually score a goal.

Luke Shaw did well tonight. A steady defensive performance but also got forward well and obviously got his first senior goal.
Will take time to get José Mourinho’s full trust, but a good first game of the season for him. Hope he builds on it.
