Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has praised James Maddison ahead of Manchester United's meeting with Leicester in the Premier League this weekend.
United welcome The Foxes to Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon as they look to return to winning ways in the division following a run of three games without a win.
Solskjaer's side last won on the opening day of the season against Chelsea and have dropped points against Wolves, Crystal Palace and Southampton in subsequent games.
The poor run of form leaves United seven points off the top of the table so early into the season and avoiding defeat will be crucial in their bid for Champions League qualification so early into the new campaign.
Any hopes of a win for United will rely on subduing Leicester's own attacking flair, and Solskjaer has outlined Maddison and Jamie Vardy as the two biggest threats ahead of the encounter.
“They’re creative they have pace, there’s good link-up between the two of them," the United manager told the official United app.
"One of the most productive partnerships and we know from last year that Maddison created loads of chances and to have Vardy’s energy and penetration and running in behind all the time is great for any creative player.
"I think they're challenging for the top four. They've got quality players and a quality manager. I've admired Brendan (Rodgers) from afar at times and played against him - I was the manager at Cardiff when he was at Liverpool.
"He's got a very good philosophy and he wants his team to play good football. We know it's going to be tough but any game in the Premier League is hard."
