Ndidi returns as Leicester stumble at Old Trafford
Not the best result on his return as Wilfred Ndidi makes his first appearance of the year after being sidelined due to an injury. The midfield ace has been out since early December, two-month injury lay-off with Leicester falling to a harsh stoppage time goal from Harry Maguire to give Manchester United the win thus eliminating the Foxes from the Emirates FA Cup, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
A close-fought FA Cup tie saw Leicester City take a first-half lead against Manchester United, only for the visitors to rally and secure a dramatic late victory. Leicester's lead came courtesy of a point-blank header from Bobby De Cordova-Reid in the 42nd minute. However, Manchester United fought back in the second half.
Joshua Zirkzee leveled the score just after the hour mark, setting up a tense final period. The decisive moment came deep into stoppage time when former Leicester player Harry Maguire headed home in the 93rd minute to seal Manchester United's place in the Fifth Round.
Despite the loss, Ruud Van Nistelrooy will be buoyed by the return of the Super Eagles midfielder as they battle for EPL survival.
