Leicester frustrate United

stadium. United of old would have capitalised to complete a comeback win, but those days are gone.

Leicester continued to play the better football and when United did create a late moment of danger, both Rashford and Jadon Sancho miscued their finishes inside the box.

If Ronaldo is too old at 37 to be the long-term solution, his absence left youngsters Anthony Elanga and Sancho looking for guidance.

Fernandes must be paid by the word the amount of whingeing he does on the pitch. Rashford can’t even get a start when Ronaldo is unavailable.

There is a pressing need for United to identify their next permanent manager quickly.

‘Today was not enough. We all know we need points,’ admitted Fernandes.

‘We created some chances but the last option was not the best. I don’t believe there’s anyone who didn’t give everything in the game. Nobody lacked intensity. We have to keep looking at our own games.’
