The Foxes won three of those clashes, and Ndidi is hopeful they can continue the good run against the Red Devils.

He said via GOAL:

"We have to look forward to it; we have to get something out of it and we have to believe in ourselves," Ndidi told the club's website.

"Every game is not easy in the Premier League. I am expecting a very, very difficult game because they’ve got the confidence now. The first win would be a massive win because we’re hungry for it.

"That would give us more confidence going forward. We know what we have to do though and if we could that would be very good for us. The fans will be there to cheer us and will be there to see us give our all. When it comes to supporting us, I think the fans are brilliant.
