Leicester City were defeated 3-0 by Manchester United at Old Trafford, as Brendan Rodgers’ side failed to move further away from the Premier League’s bottom three despite recent victories..
The Foxes arrived in Manchester after winning their previous two games against Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur, in which they scored eight goals. Leicester could have scored a couple of goals in the first half against Erik ten Hag’s United before Marcus Rashford opened the scoring in the 25th minute.
After halftime, the England international doubled his and United’s tally, before Jadon Sancho added a third. Leicester were unlucky to lose by three goals, and United supporters have praised their opponent’s performance on social media..
Many United supporters are also discussing James Maddison, who has played a key role in Leicester’s recent success. Here’s what people are saying on Twitter.
@phchu schweini: Bring in James Maddison for the summer. I’ve always admired him, but he seems to have reached a new level right now.
Imagine Maddison on our team, @NathanRef96.
@UNDRTD_: Maddison needs to be recruited.
@Nightwink99: You’d cast Maddison as Weghorst next season, wouldn’t you?
Maddison is looking very good against United, according to @paddtbeagan.
@JFlaRacingNerd: How good would James Maddison look in this Manchester United lineup? A good audition in front of ETH in the first half.
@DarrenMorgan21: Maddison all day at United.
