Manchester United sealed a third-placed finish in the Premier League, and a Champions League qualifying spot, with a tight 1-0 victory over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.

In a nervous and error-strewn game, United won a penalty in the 71st minute when Wes Morgan brought down Anthony Martial.

Despite having a poor game, Bruno Fernandes coolly sent Kasper Schmeichel the wrong way with the spot-kick.
