Maddison thought he’d won the game for Leicester late on. The former Norwich man fired in at the near post, but ruled it out for a foul on Varane in the build-up. United pushed late on, but couldn’t come up with a winner.
The likes of Arsenal and Tottenham can now further distance themselves from United on the Premier League table which will continue to reduce their chances of playing in the Champions League again next season.
Manchester United Still Have A Chance…
Manchester United still has a good chance of qualifying for the Champions League. The reds will still have tough matches against Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Brighton ahead. Their schedule looks the toughest on paper, but as they have no other distractions, Manchester United players owe it to the fans to give everything until the final minute of the season.
Securing UEFA Champions League qualification will be key for Manchester United, as they aim to rebuild next season. They will need to attract top players and that will be tough to do without UCL Chelsea.
