Manchester United vs Leicester City LIVE!
Manchester United handed the Premier League title to fierce rivals Manchester City by losing 2-1 to Leicester, who ignited their bid to qualify for next season’s Champions League.
United needed to avoid defeat at Old Trafford to delay City’s title celebrations for at least two more days, but manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s decision to field a weakened lineup amid a congested fixture schedule proved costly.
Leicester took full advantage and Caglar Soyuncu’s 66th-minute winner lifted the team above Chelsea into third, eight points above fifth-place West Ham in the race for a top-four finish.
City hold an unassailable 10-point lead over second-place United with three games remaining for each team. Pep Guardiola’s side have won the League for the third time in four seasons — and seventh time in total.
Liverpool and West Ham, the teams fighting with Leicester for an automatic Champions League qualifying spot, would have been unhappy to see their rivals get an easier ride at Old Trafford owing to Solskjaer’s team selection that saw stars like Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba start on the bench.
