Leonardo Ulloa upbeat ahead of Manchester United trip

Leonardo Ulloa claims that Leicester City can surprise Manchester United again with a positive approach at Old Trafford.

Leonardo Ulloa has insisted that there is no reason why Leicester City can't complete the double over Manchester United when the two sides meet on Saturday.

The Foxes produced one of the most surprising results of the season when they recorded a 5-3 triumph over Louis van Gaal's side in September, but they have struggled to hit the same heights since.

However, Ulloa believes that Leicester can adopt a positive approach once again as they look to pick up all three points at Old Trafford.

"We are in a different situation now, but it's important for us to have confidence," the striker told reporters. "Even though we know it's difficult, we will go there with the mentality to win.

"We need to play with the same intensity. We must play strong because we know they always take the ball and we must defend well and use the counter-attack.

"They are not as good as in past seasons but we must press more there. Maybe we can get something from the game."

Leicester are currently bottom of the Premier League with 17 points from 22 games.
