Leicester boss Pearson: We must treat Man Utd like anyother team

Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson has told his players not to get carried away with the occasion of facing Manchester United.

Pearson wants his players to remain focused on trying to build on their good start to the season.

"It is a fixture which a lot of people look for against probably the most dominant domestic club during the last 20 years," said Pearson.

"Although you could argue they are going through a little bit of a transitional period since Sir Alex Ferguson decided to step down, they are still a huge club. They are massive, a world brand.

"They have made their intentions pretty clear in terms of their recruitment.

"They look as though they have a bit of swagger back and have added quality to the players they already have.

"They have been a huge presence in the English game, European football and world football for a long time.

"But for us as a club it represents another great opportunity for our players to go out and play against a very good side."
