Vardy reveals painful road to Premier League record

Louis van Gaal chose to partner Michael Carrick with Bastian Schweinsteiger in midfield, and Anthony Martial with Wayne Rooney in attack.

“It’s not a very good point”, the midfielder told MUTV. “Well done to my players for helping Jamie Vardyto score”.

Vardy’s consistency has helped the Foxes sit second in the table, with Manchester City the only team ahead of them on goal difference.

Leicester City left-back Christian Fuchs found himself breaking forward on the right, before providing a delightful pass in behind the Manchester United defence and into the path of Vardy.

Shane Long celebrates after scoring the first goal for Southampton.

“His achievements are incredible and to break the Premier League record with such a sublime goal against the biggest club in football pushed him to the top of our agenda”.

The Old Trafford boss praised his side’s resilience and felt they deserved to win at the King Power Stadium, where they earned a 1-1 draw, and revealed they had not trained for two days.

“We didn’t win in such an important game but I have to say we have played against PSV Eindhoven and we gave everything”, Van Gaal explained, as quoted by the Manchester Evening News.

“The only thing I am concentrating on is Leicester City – it’s as simple as that, and that [means] what we are doing this week to make sure we get the three points at the weekend”.

Bournemouth came back from 2-0 down at home to Everton to level at 2-2 before both teams scored in stoppage time for a 3-3 draw.

“I don’t think he would fit in”, he is quoted as saying by the Daily Star.

Gary Neville has selected Jamie Vardy as the Premier League’s best player in November after the striker’s record-breaking run for Leicester City.

“We tried [to win] but Leicester dropped in a lot and played with 11 players in their own half and it’s never easy to play with this kind of tactics from the opponent”.
