Former Liverpool legend Michael Owen has praised Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy, but has questioned if the Foxes striker could cut it at a top club like Manchester City.

Owen said Vardy is more suited playing in Leicester's counter-attacking style, as opposed to a team which dominates possession in matches like City does.

"I rate Vardy. I think he is a certain type. I don't think he would be as successful if he were playing for Manchester City," Owen said on BT Sport.

"He is a runner, he has loads of energy and he likes space to run into. He is set up to playing for a counter-attacking team.

"But would he be able to score so many goals playing for a team like Manchester City where teams are fearful of you and start to drop off you? I have my question marks. But in a counter-attacking team, there are not many better.

"Vardy is the best around at what he does but that is how I see him. That is not being cruel. If you haven't got space to run like he has he would not score the amount of goals."
