Man Utd boss Solskjaer wary of Leicester pace

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is wary of the pace in Leicester City's attack.

United travel to the East Midlands in good heart, as the late fightback against Burnley preserved Solskjaer's unbeaten run in charge.

“I watched their game [against Liverpool] on Wednesday and it is a team full of energy and pace," said the Norwegian at his pre-match press conference.

“So of course, they defend well, because they drop back and defend, so it's hard to break them down and they've got the pace up front with [Jamie] Vardy, [Demarai] Gray, [James] Maddison, [Marc] Albrighton."

"[Also] Leicester beat Chelsea. So it's going to be a tough challenge, but we like challenges."
