The Red Devils comfortable victory over the Foxes ensured an aggregate success of 7-1 in the two Premier League fixtures. This is the biggest winning margin the club have recorded against the league champions since the Second World War.

The six-goal difference was greater than the previous best goal tally of five, which was achieved in 1955-56 and 1964-65 when they beat Chelsea 3-0 at Old Trafford and 4-2 at Stamford Bridge.

Liverpool were their next victims nine years later as United won 2-0 at Anfield before securing a 3-0 home victory.

There have been other notable individual victories over the champions, including a 6-0 thrashing of Burnley in 1961 and a 5-1 thrashing of Everton in 1963-64, even if the Toffees won 4-0 at Goodison Park,

United also managed to defeat Arsenal 4-1 on the opening-day day of the season when Neil Webb scored on his debut in 1989.

However, the 3-0 scoreline at the King Power Stadium has set a new record for the Reds when it comes to putting one over the champions on a home-and-away basis.

Here are United’s previous records:

1955/56 – 7-2:
Chelsea 3-0 (H), 4-2 (A)

1960/61 – 9-5:
Burnley 3-5 (A), 6-0 (H)

1964/65 – 5-0:
Liverpool 2-0 (A), 3-0 (H)

2004/05 – 6-2:
Arsenal 2-0 (H), 4-2 (A)

2016/17 – 7-1:
Leicester 4-1 (H), 3-0 (A)
