Leicester City sign Manchester United duo

Leicester City have agreed to sign Ritchie De Laet and Matty James from Manchester United.

The pair, who have joined the Foxes for undisclosed fees, have both signed contracts at the King Power Stadium until 2015.

"Ritchie and Matthew are both players we have been monitoring for some time and we are very pleased to be able to bring them both to the club," manager Nigel Pearson told the club's official website.

"Both are hungry, young players with winning mentalities, experience of Championship football and a desire to be successful. They will add considerable quality to the squad."

Both players will officially become Leicester players on July 1.
