Nigeria Star Musa Dropped As Man Utd Out-Fox Leicester City At M16 0RA
Published: September 24, 2016
Super Eagles assistant captain Ahmed Musa failed to make Leicester City’s 18-man squad for the first time in the Premier League, with manager Claudio Ranieri dropping him for the visit to Old Trafford.
Musa, 23, has not started a game for the champions in the English top-flight since the opening day against Hull City.
The former CSKA Moscow ace appeared off the bench in three other fixtures- against Arsenal, Swansea City and Liverpool- and was a non-playing substitute in last weekend’s tie with Burnley.
Manchester United are up to third on the table after registering a comfortable 4-1 win over the Foxes.
The Red Devils were just too good for the Foxes in the first half, scoring through Chris Smalling, Juan Mata, Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba, before Gray got something back for the visitors on the hour mark.
