Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata is wary of the threat posed by table-toppers Leicester City ahead of Saturday's trip to King Power Stadium.

The Red Devils will have the opportunity to climb to the top of the Premier League table if they manage to grab all three points in the fixture against the in-form Foxes.

Mata also reserved special praise for Foxes duo Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez.

On his own website, juanmata8.com, the Spaniard said: "Ranieri's team is having a remarkable season and the proof is that they are top of the League.

"In particular Vardy and Mahrez are outstanding, playing at an exceptional level… We will have to be very careful with them."
