Manchester United twice surrendered a two-goal lead to lose 5-3 to Leicester in a wild Premier League game on Sunday, with the promoted side scoring four times in 20 minutes to cap a thrilling comeback.

Angel Di Maria's exquisite chip put United 2-0 ahead in the 16th minute but it proved in vain as Leicester came from 3-1 down with 28 minutes left.

Penalties by David Nugent and Leonardo Ulloa - the second after Tyler Blackett's sending-off - came either side of goals by Esteban Cambiasso and Jamie Vardy as United's defense imploded at King Power Stadium.

But who was the man of the match. Click through our ratings gallery below...

Robin van Persie and Di Maria scored to give United a great start before Ulloa reduced the deficit in the 18th with a third goal in a five-minute span. Ander Herrera regained United's two-goal lead before their collapse.
