Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi featured for Leicester City as the Foxes suffered a convincing 3-0 defeat to Manchester United in Sunday’s Premier League clash at Old Trafford.
Softfootball understands that the defeat leaves Leicester with three losses from their last four league matches, further denting their hopes of climbing away from the lower half of the table.
Ndidi started in midfield for the visitors before making way in the 70th minute as Leicester struggled to contain a confident Manchester United side.
Interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy signed off his spell in charge with an unbeaten record in four matches after stepping in following Erik ten Hag’s dismissal.
Bruno Fernandes opened the scoring on his 250th appearance for Manchester United, finishing brilliantly after combining with Amad Diallo.
The Portuguese midfielder was also involved in United’s second goal, with his dangerous run and cross forcing Leicester defender Victor Kristiansen into an unfortunate own goal.
Alejandro Garnacho completed the victory after coming off the bench, curling a superb effort into the top corner to wrap up an impressive afternoon for the Red Devils.
Despite the victory, Manchester United remain 13th in the Premier League standings but are now just three points behind fifth place, while Leicester sit 15th after another disappointing result.
