Rodgers Unleashes Iheanacho And Ndidi Against Manchester United In Top Four Battle

Super Eagles duo Kelechi Iheanacho and Wilfred Ndidi have been named in Leicester City’s lineup for the all-important clash against Manchester United on Sunday.

The Foxes take on Manchester United on the final day of the Premier League season, knowing they need the maximum points to overtake their rivals in the top-four race.

To prosecute the match, Leicester City’s manager, Brendan Rodgers has named his Iheanacho and Ndidi in his lineup.

Ndidi has been one of Leicester’s best players this season, and his performance will be key to the Foxes’ mission this afternoon.

Only Declan Rice has made more interceptions than Ndidi in the Premier League this season, and that’ll be crucial in breaking United’s attacking play.

His compatriot, Iheanacho may not have had the same impact as Ndidi, but he’s scored some vital goals for the team this season.

The former Manchester City man was selected ahead of Ayoze Perez and Harvey Barnes to partner Jamie Vardy in the attack.

A win for Leicester takes them into the Champions League, while a draw may still be enough should Chelsea lose to Wolves.
