Leicester City v Manchester United Premier League: How will Manchester United

The Red Devils allowed the 19-year-old striker to move to the south coast club on loan last night, until the end of the season and the youngster will look to impress for Chris Houghton’s Championship high flyers.

Van Gaal said he always demands more of his squad.

Louis van Gaal might have made them a more solid outfit defensively but they have become one-dimensional and predictable in attack as a by-product.

The aim is to discover potential hidden gems who, like Vardy, missed an early chance to gain a foothold at a professional club but have an ability and mentality that can be harnessed.

Leicester City are willing to sell star striker Jamie Vardy in January. And in Vardy they have the story of the season. A man of the match WhoScored.com rating of 9.39, scoring once and registering 2 assists, remains his best ever in the Premier League. Jamie Vardy has thrived in limelight claims Claudio Ranieri Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri believes Jamie Vardy has thrived under the spotlight during his record goal chase. Ferguson, like a lot of other United supporters, will have to wait a little longer before they see this side truly flourish.

Falcao and Van Persie combined for Manchester United’s opener before record signing Di Maria took centre stage with a sumptuous lob.

“We are still second so we are still in the qualifying position and we have to do it in Wolfsburg but that is more hard”, he added.

That said, if Martial can get off to a strong start, Leicester are far from watertight at the back. In previous years this match was one the United would take for granted but this time around they will know that Vardy and his teammates will cause them trouble.

Saturday’s evening kick-off is something of a good versus evil battle for the football purists. Jamie Vardy’s story is truly incredible – one that, without exaggeration, can be termed a “rags to riches” tale – and the league’s top scorer now finds himself on the brink of breaking a historic Premier League record. It now means United need to win in Germany in two weeks time and that should inspire the side to get back to winning ways. Against that, Southampton have lost only one out of nine this season when scoring, which suggests they can take something from the game given the rarity of a City clean sheet (two in their last 15 games in all competitions).

Out of United’s 24 Premier League campaigns this current season ranks as the 21 for goals scored after 13 games, however in the 1992-93 and 2002-03 seasons when they had netted just 14 and 17 goals respectfully at this stage they did on go to win the title. And now with Herrera missing his place in the side more certain.
