United's stellar cast of attacking talent allowed them to race into a 3-1 lead thanks to Robin van Persie, Ander Herrera and Angel Di Maria, with the latter scoring a stunning chip over Kasper Schmeichel.
But however impressive United's Galacticos are on the attack, this squad is woefully sub-standard at the back and Leicester took full advantage to record their first home victory over the 20-time champions since 1985.
Leonardo Ulloa headed in at the back post in the first half and David Nugent found the net from the penalty spot after a needless foul by Rafael on Jamie Vardy.
Esteban Cambiasso equalised on his full debut before Vardy slotted the ball past David De Gea after a counter-attack in which United's defending was all over the place.
Tyler Blackett was then sent off for hacking Vardy down in the box and Ulloa converted the penalty to make it 5-3.
