What happens to Manchester United after a hard loss against Leicester?

 At King Power Stadium, Leicester regained some of the memories of the evenings that led them to the title in 2016, by achieving their third win in a row (the first in the Cup quarter-finals) over its guest United in a match in which the latter advanced, and then it was tied 2-2 in the minute 82 before he conceded two goals later, which led to the end of his series of consecutive matches without a defeat away from his home at 29.


The pressure will certainly increase on the Norwegian coach, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, especially that the "Red Devils" did not win the fourth consecutive match locally, including the exit from the third round of the League Cup at the hands of its guest West Ham (0-1), to freeze their balance at 14 points, which led Because they fell from fourth to fifth place in favor of Brighton, who tied with Norwich zero-zero, with the possibility of them dropping to ninth place at the end of the stage.


United started the match in the best way, as they advanced in the 19th minute with a wonderful goal from a left-footed shot from outside the area by Mason Greenwood, but Leicester responded with a goal with the same splendor by the Belgian Yuri Tielemans, who benefited from a fatal mistake by defender Harry Maguire, who lost the ball to Nigerian Kelechi Ihanancho after it reached him. From the Spanish goalkeeper David de Gea, he passed it to the Belgian, who shot it "fallen" from the outskirts of the area (31).


Despite some attempts, most notably a long-range missile shot by Serbian Nemanja Matic from outside the area and

slightly over the crossbar (55), United were unable to reach the net of Danish goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, amid the lack of seriousness of Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo.


United found themselves behind in the 78th minute, with a goal from Turkey's Şağlar Shöringo, after the ball was received by the Spaniard Ayusi Perez after a corner kick.


Solskjaer's men thought they would return to Manchester with a point when substitute Marcus Rashford scored a equalizer after breaking the offside trap after a pass from Swede Victor Lindelof (82), but Leicester responded after only 54 seconds and regained the lead through Jamie Vardy after a cross from Ayusi Pires, before The Zambian Patson Dhaka dealt a knockout blow to the visitors and confirmed his team's third victory in the first minute of overtime after a free kick.
