Twenty-one-year-old Rashford is the youngest player to reach a century of top-flight appearances for Manchester United since Ryan Giggs in December 1993.

He and Pogba have been in superb form since former Manchester United favourite Solskjaer took over at Old Trafford from the sacked Jose Mourinho in December, guiding the club to nine wins and a draw in all competitions.

After being second best in the first half, Leicester came roaring back in the second, and should have equalised.

Jamie Vardy's 61st minute overhead volley was clawed away by David de Gea, and Rachid Ghezzal's 77th minute free kick was flying in before the Spanish goalkeeper tipped it over.
