Manchester - Manchester United beat Leicester City 2-0 at Old Trafford
It had threatened to be a frustrating afternoon for Jose Mourinhoâ?Ts side, who dominated but failed to find a way past Kasper Schmeichel until Rashford struck in the 70th minute.
Last season, United drew 10 games at Old Trafford, often being frustrated by the kind of deep-lying defence that Leicester manager Craig Shakespeare employed but they are now a different proposition.
United thought they had gone ahead in the 18th minute when Juan Mata slotted home after Schmeichel parried out a Lukaku drive but the Spaniard was ruled to have been offside.
The home side had been firmly on top in the opening 45 minutes but too often turned to hopeful long-range efforts.
They should have gone ahead, however, in the 52nd minute when Leicester defender Danny Simpson was ruled to have handled in the area but Lukakuâ?Ts penalty was superbly saved by Schmeichel, whose father Peter won five league titles for United.
Sensing the game beginning to drift towards a draw Mourinho turned to his bench.
Rashford can feel himself unfortunate to have been left out for Anthony Martial, who has twice scored from the bench this season, but he responded well.
Three minutes after being sent on the 19-year-old England forward met a Henrikh Mkhitaryan corner with a side-footed finish to put United in front.
The win was secured eight minutes from time when another substitute, Jesse Lingard, played the ball into the area and Fellaini flicked it past Schmeichel.
"That's why need them (the substitutes), because they can change the game," United midfielder Paul Pogba said.
"Is that a game that we might not have won last season? Yes, for sure. I was a bit scared but we keep pushing this season."
