The Nigerian international was too hot to handle for the Red Devils as he messages his preparedness for the Super Eagles crucial clashes against the Squirrels and Crocodiles
Barely a week after netting his first hat-trick in the Premier League for the Foxes, Kelechi Iheanacho is at it again, contributing two goals to push Leicester City to the brink of advancing to the FA Cup semifinals with the Foxes leading 2-1 over Manchester United.
Head coach Brendan Rodgers seemed to have found a winning formula, and he stuck to it, starting Iheanacho upfront to partner Jamie Vardy against the Red Devils at the King Power Stadium.
And the Super Eagles forward repaid his manager’s faith when he latched home the opener in the 24th minute of the encounter.
But Ole Gunner Solskjaer’s men are also on a high, having advanced to the Europa League round of 16 a few days ago with a fine away at AC Milan.
And the visitors responded well to falling behind, cranking up the pressure until Paul Pogba found the pass to set up Mason Greenwood for the equaliser moments before the halftime break.
But Iheanacho was not done yet, and the in-form forward provided the assist for Youri Tielemans to restore the Foxes lead seven minutes into the second half.
