Leicester City 0 Manchester United 1: Ndidi Plays Full Game; Iheanacho Makes Cameo
Manchester United pipped Leicester City 1-0 in their Premier League clash at the King Power on Sunday afternoon to further boost their chances of a top-four finish.

While Super Eagles midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi started and went the distance for the Foxes, his teammate compatriot, Kelechi Iheanacho replaced Nampalys Mendy in the 84th minute.

Ndidi who has been one of the club's most important players this term was taking in his 25th league appearance this season while Iheanacho played his 20th game.

The midfielder had a huge chance to put his team into the lead three minutes in but his tame attempt fizzled just wide of the six-yard box.

With an 83 percent pass success rate as per Whoscored, he was one of his team's best passers from the defeat and also accrued three tackles, won one aerial ball, made two dribbles and took two shots.

The result saw Manchester United (48 pts) move into fifth and a point above Arsenal who take on Manchester City later today.
