“It wasn’t always exciting in my day at Old Trafford, either”.
Ranieri will have Vardy available, as he looks to break Van Nistelrooy’s record, despite him battling a hip problem.
Manchester United midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin says they’ll be wary facing Jamie Vardy on Saturday at Leicester City.
There are still doubts over whether Michael Carrick will be available due to an ankle injury. Wayne is doing a lot, has a very great contribution in the team.
However, in Smalling he will come up against arguably the best defender in the Premier League this season.
‘Of course I am anxious but I know also that goals are not always a effect of good or bad performances, ‘ he said.
Rooney admitted United lacked composure in front of goal and did not deserve to win. He’s taking more shots than he did last season and his accuracy has significantly improved as well.
“You see players where the ball could have been played forward with a little bit of risk but they tend to go square or back”.
“If we weren’t creating chances, I’d be anxious but we are and we don’t give too much away – normally, our results are good”, said the Dutch manager, who has allowed striker James Wilson to join Championship side Brighton and Hove Albion on loan for the rest of the season.
Once more, for the record. A true fairytale story, Vardy is on a run of 10 consecutive games in which he has scored, now leading the Golden Boot race.
This time past year Manchester United were struggling to keep pace with Chelsea at the top of the Premier League and were already 11 points adrift of the champions elect.
Van Nistelrooy set the 10-match record while at the Red Devils in 2003 and Vardy equalled it with the opener in last week’s 3-0 win at Newcastle which sent Leicester top.
This will likely be the foremost question on the minds of Manchester United coaching staff. Vardy has scored all his goals from inside the box, where he has a 30% success rate, with 3.7 attempts per game.
Manchester United have not conceded from open play in eight games in all competitions but come up against the best attack in the Premier League with no team scoring more than Leicester.
Leicester City Expected XI (4-4-2): Schmeichel (GK); Simpson, Huth, Morgan, Fuchs; Mahrez, Drinkwater, Kante, Albrighton; Ulloa, Vardy.
The Foxes have now scored in 14 successive Premier League matches and are the only side to find the back of the net in all 13 of their PL games this season.

But a victory at Leicester, who have lost just once at home this season, would ease some of the tension by taking United above Claudio Ranieri’s side to the top of the league.
