The former champions only have themselves to blame.

Things started out great for Manchester United, as new signing Radamel Falcao set up Robin Van Persie to score his first goal of the season
New signing Angel Di Maria made it two nil with a delightful chip over Kasper Schmeichel, the son of former United legend Peter Schmeichel moments later
The celebrations didn't last long however as Leicester hit back just after the restart
In the second half, United extended their lead thanks to a flick by Ander Hererra. It looked to be a done deal for United.
In the 61st minute, a penalty was given to Leicester for a foul on Vardy. Many thought Jaime Vardy should have been penalised for the earlier push on Rafael.
Three minutes later, Leicester pulled level thanks to former Inter Milan defender Esteban Cambiasso. United were shellshocked.
The defense did not make things better as poor marking and a mistake from Marcos Rojo punished them dearly
When things couldn't get any worse, it did. Another penalty was given and young defender Tyler Blackett was given a red card for the foul. Leicester 5 Manchester United 3.
Former Manchester City and now Liverpool player Mario Balotelli added salt into the wound with this brilliant tweet
Man utd ... LOL
