MU vs Leicester City: Waiting for the foxes to be crowned

(Baonghean.vn)- Tonight (8:05 p.m., May 1), Leicester City's away match at MU's Old Trafford will be the highlight match, the most watched match of round 36 of the Premier League. In a situation where they are being pushed to the wall, can MU call back the "big guy" to stop the "Foxes"' early championship ambition? But coach Ranieri and his team understand that, to be sure to wear the "Dragon Robe", they need to win all 3 points right at the "Red Devils" lair.

It has been a long time since people have seen a new name that is not Man City, Chelsea, Man United or Arsenal reach the top, but instead a "child" but strong, a poor but not cowardly person. Throughout this season, Leicester City has shown a tight defense, quick counterattacking style that is very pragmatic but extremely effective. After 35 rounds, the King Power home team has won 22 matches, drawn 10 matches and lost only 3 matches with 63 goals scored to lead with 76 points in hand, far ahead of the pursuer right behind, Tottenham, with a safe distance of 7 points. An extremely impressive achievement that makes the "rich guys" feel ashamed.

From the skepticism about the "mutation" phenomenon when thinking that Leicester must also follow the truth "form is temporary, class is forever". Now, everyone has to admire, have to admit that they were wrong, were wrong. The "big guys" were too confident in their strength and also too contemptuous of a team that last season only knew how to fight for relegation. That was the reason they had to pay a very high price when the plan to "decode" the phenomenon of "the Foxes" failed.

Tonight the "Foxes" will turn into spirits?

Top striker Vardy continues to be absent due to suspension, but remember that every “Fox warrior” can be a “different Vardy” with the perfect roles of Leonardo Ulloa and Mahrez. Tonight’s match will be the final difficult test for the “Foxes” to confirm that they are completely worthy of the Premier League title this season…

Meanwhile, MU entered the season as one of the bright candidates for the championship. However, coach Van Gaal and his team received a lot of criticism from fans because of their unprecedented poor performance. Statistics show that all of MU's indicators this season are far behind Leicester City. After 34 rounds, coach Van Gaal and his team only won 17 matches, lost 9 matches, scored 42 goals and conceded 30 goals. A terrible performance, lulling and boring matches with a poor offense, a fragile defense, and a lifeless midfield.

However, Old Trafford is no longer known as the “theatre of sleep”, instead the attacking plays are flexible and creative. Wayne Rooney has returned, and has done an excellent job as a midfielder. Young talent Rashford is reinforcing the fans’ confidence by scoring consecutively, helping MU win important matches. Tonight, Marcus Rashford will probably play as a striker, Rooney will follow closely behind, Martial and Lingard will be on the left and right, the duo Fellaini and Carrick will be in the center...

Can Rooney's return and Rashford's youthful talent save MU?

Coach Van Gaal affirmed: "We can make Leicester postpone the party!". That's right, the "Foxes" have never been on par with the "Red Devils" in terms of head-to-head record (winning all 6 recent matches hosting Leicester City at home) as well as economic potential and achievements. Therefore, there is no reason to doubt Van Gaal's statement is a joke. In the 1-1 draw in the first leg at King Power Stadium, MU dominated possession 69% of the time, shot 10 times but disappointed with only one goal. This time, they need to work much harder if they want to leave the field with their heads held high and continue looking towards the TOP race ahead. Another stumble against Leicester at this time will be the end of the "Red Devils" efforts in the race for the right to participate in the Champions League next season. That pressure is forcing the "Red Devils" to keep 3 points in tonight's battle.

Can Leicester City make fireworks explode over Old Trafford? If they beat Manchester United, it will come true. If they only get a point at Old Trafford, and Tottenham draw with Chelsea, the title will officially belong to the Foxes. But even if they lose, Leicester still have at least 2 more chances in the next 7 days: They will be crowned champions if Chelsea beat Tottenham or if they beat Everton in the next round. Either way, the Foxes will turn into "skills"!
