Man Utd defender Smalling: Leicester very physical

Manchester United defender Chris Smalling was frustrated after their 1-1 draw with Leicester City.

Smalling did pay credit to title-chasers Leicester City mind, commenting on their solid defensive organisation.

“Their consistency [is what makes Leicester difficult]. We dominated the game, but found them very hard to break down," he told MUTV . “They're a very physical side especially when they bring forward the likes of Huth, Morgan and Ulloa. They had a great threat from set-plays and you could see that they could get goals from there.

“We did find it difficult to keep them quiet, so it was unfortunate, but they've ground out a result when they weren't the better team, so you have to give them credit."
