MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Troubled Manchester United fell to a 4-2 defeat to Leicester City on Saturday while Liverpool and Manchester City continued their title challenge with comfortable victories.

United have picked up just one point from their last three Premier League games and slip to fifth place, four points behind leaders Liverpool.

Mason Greenwood had fired United into a 19th-minute lead with a fine 20-metre drive that flew in off the inside of the post. But Leicester were to have the final say with goals from Jamie Vardy and Patson Daka earning Brendan Rodgers' side their third win of the campaign. Mane then picked out James Milner on an overlapping run and he drove a perfect ball across the goal for Firmino to steer home from close range in the 37th minute to put the Reds 2-0 up at halftime.

Firmino completed his hat-trick in stoppage time, to complete a miserable first game in charge of Watford for Italian manager Claudio Ranieri. Burnley caused City some problems with Maxwel Cornet and Josh Brownhill going close but City finally put the contest to bed, in the 70th minute, when De Bruyne blasted home with his left foot.
