Marcus Rashford scored the winner from the penalty spot
Marcus Rashford scored a first-half penalty as Manchester United claimed only their second win of the season to end Leicester's unbeaten start.
The England striker was fouled by Caglar Soyuncu before sending Kasper Schmeichel the wrong way from the subsequent spot kick.
Rashford went close to adding a second in the final 10 minutes but his free-kick clattered into the top corner of the woodwork.
The result sees United move up to fourth in the table, while Leicester drop to fifth.
