Forced to play three matches in five days, United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made 10 changes to the side that beat Aston Villa 3-1 in the weekend. Against a second-string United side, Luke Thomas put Leicester City ahead in the 10th minute with a thunderbolt. But United were back at it four minutes later when Mason Greenwood cut through a wall of Leicester City defenders and found the net to equalise. Caglar Soyuncu then rose the highest in the 66th minute to restore LeicesterтАЩs lead from a corner.┬аPep Guardiola After Manchester City Win EPL 2020-21 Title, Says ‘This Has Been a Season Like No Other, Proud to Be the Manager Here’.
