Leicester are just three points away from the league title in what has been a fairytale season for the club, and a win against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday would see the Foxes wrap up the Premier League with just two matches to go.

The Leicester boss implored his table-topping underdogs to grab the win at Old Trafford which will deliver the most unlikely Premier League title in history, saying: “Once in a lifetime this can happen”.
In their second season under manager Louis van Gaal, United were expected to use their return to the Champions League as a launch pad towards competing for major honours again. For Leicester’s Danny Drinkwater and Danny Simpson, who were both born in Manchester and were part of United’s youth academy, Sunday’s match represents the chance to be crowned Premier League champions at the ground of their boyhood club that released them earlier in their careers.
“I have seen it many, many times, I believe in team-building and this manager (Ranieri) has done that with this team”.
He also consistently appears on numerous talk shows all across the country.
The post Van Gaal: United Will Delay Leicester Title Party appeared first on Complete Sports Nigeria. It started the season with 5,000-1 odds in the U.K.to win the title, and now some gambling houses could be about to lose big time.
The Dutchman praised his opposite number Claudio Ranieri, whom he first battled against when the pair were at Barcelona and Valencia respectively in the late 1990s. Always in the final it is OK, a happy ending.
“We are fighting to make this dream a reality, but it isn’t yet”.
“I am relaxed because I watch my players”.
“We have to fight there, we have to fight a lot”. I don’t think (Matteo) Darmian is used to being the champion, and De Gea was never champion.
“It is surreal at times but as professional footballers, we are here to win things and we have a good opportunity now”. The performance of Ranieri and his players is fantastic because they are not used to winning every game and they have to win every game, and they have done it.
“I feel it is very important to be concentrated 100 percent”.
“So I don’t think that you can say that we have not played at a certain level”.
