Leicester City v Manchester United

The best chance of all fell to Jesse Lingard who could have wrapped up the win for United but blasted over the bar after 73 minutes.

Tuesday’s failure to find the back of the net against PSV means United have now scored just six goals in their past eight games in all competitions, but Van Gaal has staunchly rejected all previous criticism of their playing style.

Van Gaal’s conservative approach has been a source of frustration for many United fans this season, but the former Barcelona boss is happy with how the team are performing and is confident goals will return to his side.

“We won our home game against them, so why can we not win away?”

“I know there are players out there in a similar position to where I was that just need an opportunity”, he said. “But I don’t know, you can never predict that, because injuries are unpredictable”. The spirit of our group is so strong.

Wednesday’s 0-0 draw against PSV at Old Trafford, saw United creating quite a many chances, but the lack of cutting edge in the final third proved costly.

“Slowly, slowly they are getting better, building, he’ll get it right”.

“I think maybe he’s set up his team to be very good defensively because he thinks, maybe, he hasn’t got the quality up front”.

When asked whether he would consider signing Vardy, Van Gaal gave a terse reply, saying: “That is not your business, I think”. I believe in the next year Leicester will grow. Tactically, we were very good. “It is an open season but our goal is 40 points”.

“We are really disappointed”, Young told MUTV.

“I feel we showed a lack of composure which put ourselves under pressure a lot of times”. “You have to fight and perform well every game, like we also did at home against Manchester United”.

The in-form Leicester striker is setting up the V9 Academy with the aim of discovering hidden talent in non-league and to stop players drifting away from the professional game.

Next up for United is a trip to surprise Premier League leaders Leicester City on Saturday.

Having scored more goals than any other side on their way to the Premier League summit, Leicester are fast becoming the neutrals’ favorites, with man of the moment Jamie Vardy dominating most of the headlines.

Jamie Vardy has been a Premier League revelation this season.

United lost 5-3 on its last visit to the King Power Stadium, when Jamie Vardy was one of the scorers.
