Youri Tielemans made it 1-1 when he curled the ball over De Gea and into the top corner after a stumble by Maguire not reacting to Iheanacho in the build-up to the goal.

With a little under a quarter of an hour left, Iheanacho, who started the recent back-to-back 2022 World Cup qualifiers against Central African Republic, made way for Patson Daka due to fatigue.

In quotes relayed by Leicester City's official website, Taggart said : "It was a fabulous game of football. I thought Leicester were excellent from the word go and particularly [Kelechi] Iheanacho in the first half, he just unsettled Harry Maguire.

"Obviously [Jamie] Vardy was working on [Victor] Lindelöf on the other side and they just couldn’t cope.

"They go in at 1-1 after Manchester United take the lead but it was fairly even in the second half."

The in-form Iheanacho has either scored or assisted in each of his last four matches for Leicester City.
