Ranieri: Leicester will learn about ourselves against Man Utd

Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri will welcome their test against Manchester United.

The Foxes face a run of tough fixtures, beginning with United today.

"Like everybody I am very curious to watch my team," Ranieri said.

"I am confident of course. I am the manager, but I am curious how we respond in these big matches from now until the end of the first leg.

"It's a big match and it's the big match of the Premier League this week," he said.

"Now we are top of the league and we deserve this in this moment, but for us it's another match to understand where we can improve.

"In which way we have to improve.

"Now I know very well, after four months, my team. When you play against these great teams against great champions, you have to see how our team show their tactics, their strength and character, how we score a goal and how we react when we concede a goal.

"We have to build. We must grow up in every situation."
