Leicester City head coach Ruud Van Nistelrooy said Wilfred Ndidi displayed leadership in their 2-1 loss to Manchester United in the FA Cup.
Ndidi who wore the captain’s ban was brilliant in the game and also made an assist for Leicester’s only goal scored by Bobby De Cordova-Reid.
“His performance was excellent, especially his leadership. Beyond wearing the captain’s armband, he truly led the team with his demands, coaching, and communication, which helped prevent potential threats. I thought Bouba [Soumare] and Wilf formed an outstanding partnership, effectively controlling the game, both with and without possession,” van Nistelrooy.
Leicester will play Arsenal next Saturday. The Foxes are third from the bottom in the league table and would need to fight harder to remain in the Premier League.
