Claudio Ranieri "satisfied" with Leicester City, Manchester United draw

Claudio Ranieri says that he is pleased with Leicester City's 1-1 draw against Manchester United.

Claudio Ranieri has said that he is pleased with Leicester City's 1-1 draw against Manchester United.

Jamie Vardy gave Leicester City the lead before Bastian Schweinsteiger scored the equaliser on the verge of half time.

"I'm satisfied with a draw against a big team like Manchester United. The result was not easy," Ranieri told BBC Sport.

"Of course we wanted to win the match, but they are a great team, very well organised, they keep possession and the move the ball. It was important that we kept it compact and ours was an amazing performance.

"The whole team are in very good physical condition and they have a good mentality. They want to do their best until the end, and if the opponent is better than us on the day then well done to the opponent. But we played well today and I think our supporters enjoyed the match."

The Italian has led Leicester to second in the Premier League table, level on points with leaders Manchester City.
