Kelechi Iheanacho and Wilfred Ndidi featured for Leicester who lost again, as they went down 1-0 to a resurgent Manchester United at the King Power in Thursday’s Premier League tie.
A Jadon Sancho first half strike saw Leicester suffer a fourth consecutive league defeat while United claimed their third win on the bounce.
While Ndidi featured in defense and saw 90 minutes of action, Iheanacho came on in the 76th minute.
The defeat leaves Leicester bottom on just a point after five games played and for United they move up to fifth place on nine points on the log.
Leicester City are in a horrendous situation and need a quick picking up immediately.
The Foxes are currently bottom of the Premier League standings on 20th and have taken just one point out of a possible fifteen.
The Foxes look like a team in need of a serious reboot but the club’s owners are tightening the purse strings, leaving manager Brendan Rodgers to pretty much work with what he had while losing important figures in keeper Kasper Schmeichel and outstanding young defender Wesley Fofana.
Leicester City’s fans showed their impatience but it may be the manager’s patience that is in danger of snapping as much of the fine work of his early seasons here looks in danger of grinding to a halt.
The likes of Kelechi Iheanacho and Wilfred Ndidi have to step up their game to an extremely higher level if they are to turn the ship around at the King Power Stadium.
Leicester City will travel to the Amex Stadium on Sunday where they will face in form Brighton who currently occupy 4th spot on the log with 10 points.
On Saturday the 10th of September Leicester City will host Aston Villa who are on a poor run themselves with one win in five and seeing that their opponents will be Erling Haaland and Mancity on the 3rd of September before the Leicester game it safe to say that Villa will have 5 defeats heading into the game at King Power.
Leicester and Brendan Rodgers would love to turn their season around with a win away at Brighton and get themselves off the relegation places and up into the top half of the table where we are used to seeing them.
