[Sport] Español A draw complicates Manchester United in their fight for a place in the next Champions League

Ralf Rangnick's team, who were without Cristiano Ronaldo due to illness, have only managed one victory in the last four games.

Marcus Rashford laments

 

A languid Manchester United did not pass the draw at Old Trafford against Leicester (1-1) and dropped from the fight for Champions League positions in the Premier League, which this weekend achieved the thirtieth day.

Ralf Rangnick's team, who could not count on Cristiano Ronaldo due to illness, has won just one win in the last four games. The downturn is evident in the 'reds', surpassed by a more motivated rival but anchored in the middle of the classification without any objective in the remainder of the season.

 

The damage could have been greater for United. David de Gea, with a couple of decisive performances, denied the goal to the foxes, who scored a second goal that was annulled by the VAR.

Without conviction, he tried to take control of Manchester, which hardly bothered Kasper Schmaichel.

Only the meeting was shaken in the last half hour. It was Leicester who took the lead in the 63rd minute when a James Maddison pass was headed in by Nigerian Kelechi Iheanacho, who beat De Gea.

United responded immediately, finding the equalizer four minutes later. A shot by Marcus Rashford, who had left minutes before, from the edge of the box was neutralized by Schmaichel, but his clearance was used by the Brazilian Fred, who took the ball into the net.

Leicester could win. A header from Wesley Fofana put De Gea to the test, triggering a great intervention. Then came Maddison's goal that invalidated the VAR.

The point leaves Manchester United sixth, three behind Arsenal, fourth, which has two fewer games. Leicester are ninth.
