Manchester United 1-1 Leicester LIVE! Fred goal - Premier League result, match stream and latest updates today

Manchester United vs Leicester - LIVE!

A lacklustre Manchester United needed a rare goal by Fred to salvage an unconvincing 1-1 Premier League draw with Leicester City at Old Trafford.

Kelechi Iheanacho had put the visitors ahead, nodding an inch-perfect James Maddison cross past David de Gea after Fred was dispossessed on a United counter-attack.

But the Brazillian midfielder levelled three minutes later after Leicester failed to clear the ball, Bruno Fernandes shooting from the edge of the box and Fred tapping home the rebound after Kasper Schmeichel pushed it out.

Leicester remained on top, continuing to run at a disorganised United defence and had the ball in the back of the net again through Maddison, but it was ruled out due to a foul in the build-up.

Ralf Rangnick’s men remain sixth in the table and could be overtaken by West Ham United if they beat Everton on Sunday. Their top-four hopes, and with it Champions League football next season, continue to fade.
