Iheanacho unsettled Maguire and was Leicester City’s best player in first half vs Man United – Taggart

Gerry Taggart has singled out striker Kelechi Iheanacho as the best player for Leicester City in the first half of their 4-2 Premier League win against Manchester United on Saturday.

Goals from Youri Tielemans, Caglar Soyuncu, Jamie Vardy, and Zambia international Patson Daka ensured the Foxes ended Man United’s 29-game unbeaten run away from home.

According to the former Leicester defender, despite not getting among the goals, the Nigeria international was one of the best performers after he gave Man United defender Harry Maguire a difficult game especially in the first half at King Power Stadium.

“Leicester ran out victors because they outworked, outmuscled, and outfought Manchester United, who were guilty, at times, of just playing football for footballing reasons, going nowhere,” Taggart said as quoted by the club’s official website .
