Pearson says Leicester will relish Man Utd test

Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson says his players will relish their test against Manchester United.

Pearson said his side will not be daunted by the prospect of facing a star-studded United on Sunday.

Pearson said: "When you play sides like Manchester United there is going to be huge expectation, and I think it is great that the players look forward to games like this.

"These are the games we have aspired to play in, so I see no reason to be anything other than positive.

"After the first four games the players' performances have suggested for the most part we have the capability to improve and do okay.

"Saturday's game gave us a first win. We had to show different qualities.

"We have played better than that for sure, but we still showed some qualities you are going to need in any game, especially away from home, to get over the line and collect wins."
