Leicester City and Manchester United are two clubs that have played each other a lot throughout the years, with both clubs spending large periods of their history in the English top flight.
United had a dominant spell of title wins under Sir Alex Ferguson, but Leicester have enjoyed a league title success more recently than the Red Devils, with their famous Premier League triumph in the 2015-16 campaign.
Ruud van Nistelrooy has enjoyed spells managing both United and Leicester, and the clubs are also linked with players such as Harry Maguire, Jonny Evans and Jesse Lingard donning the shirts of both clubs over the years.

Head-to-head record
Previous meetings: 141
Leicester wins: 36
Draws: 31
Man United wins: 74
A hotly-contested fixture in the Premier League over recent years, it is not a surprise to see that Manchester United have the historical bragging rights over Leicester.
From their 141 competitive meetings, the Red Devils have triumphed on 74 occasions, with the most recent of those coming March 2025, when Rasmus Hojlund, Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes helped secure a comfortable 3-0 win for Ruben Amorim's side away to the Foxes.
That triumph was the fourth time that United beat Leicester in the 2024-25 campaign, as the clubs were paired in both domestic cups, on top of the standard two league fixtures during that season.
The first official match between the two clubs occurred in September 1894, with Newton Heath securing the points from a five-goal thriller versus Leicester Fosse.
Arguably the highest-profile match involving the clubs, the Red Devils and the Foxes faced off in the final of the FA Cup in 1963, when English legends were on both sides of the pitch in the form of Man United's Bobby Charlton and Leicester's Gordon Banks, who conceded three goals as Sir Matt Busby's men lifted the trophy.
Wembley in its current form hosted the 2016 FA Community Shield between the two outfits, with efforts from academy graduate Lingard and Zlatan Ibrahimovic sealing a 2-1 victory over Claudio Ranieri's Premier League-winning Leicester.
The Foxes last tasted success in this fixture back in October 2021, when Youri Tielemans, Caglar Soyuncu, Jamie Vardy and Patson Daka all netted in a resounding 4-2 triumph at the King Power Stadium.
