Jamie Vardy: The Movie?

Schweinsteiger revealed that United found it hard to break Leicester down once they were sitting deep and that they may have to rethink their strategy.

“But I never want to not play”.

Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy has broken Ruud Van Nistelrooy’s record, extending his goal streak to 11 matches.

However, what makes Vardy’s story really interesting is the fact that till around 2012, he was playing non-league (semi-professional) football at Fleetwood Town, before catching the then Championship club Leicester City’s eye. “I could have chosen (Anthony) Martial because they were both not running in behind”.

Now, his fantastic journey from non-league football to the Premier League is set to inspire a Hollywood movie with either Robert Pattinson, Andrew Garfield and Zac Efron to play the England global. “It’s just another game that we wanted to try and get three points in”.

However, Schmeichel – whose son Kasper plays alongside Vardy at the King Power Stadium – has claimed that the Dutchman would be better off looking elsewhere, but has admitted that the striker should certainly be leading the line for the national side. But we concentrated very well throughout the match.

Coincidentally, the 28-year-old did it against the Dutchman’s former club, as he gave Leicester the lead against Manchester United on Saturday evening.

“I had a little time to let it sink in yesterday [Sunday], but today we are back on that training field and seeing how we can hopefully beat Swansea at the weekend”.

Manchester United are thought to be interested in Vardy, who has a £30m price-tag heading into January, but the stats show that at least two other names should be under serious consideration…
