Manchester United vs Leicester live updates: Carabao Cup game score and goal alerts

52′ Manchester United 4-2 Leicester

That’s quite disappointing.

Soumare, who has made some neat forward passes, fizzes the ball into the feet of Jordan Ayew, who cleverly turns away from his marker in midfield and drives forward in a four-on-three.

He plays it out with a left to Kasey McAteer, who dribbles into the field but crosses it and releases Ugarte. Leicester keep the ball on the left, but Ugarte drops dramatically and holds his face step by step.

Ref Andy Madley thinks about it and gives the free kick a few seconds later due to a ‘head injury’. Literally as soon as he gives it, Ugarte suddenly sits up and can continue playing. He touches his face again, unconvincingly, as if to suggest he got there.

Replays show that McAteer made a normal, unintentional collision with him and Ugarte bought the mistake by flopping over. Not exactly ‘Manchester United midfield enforcer’ material. Wonder what Roy Keane would think of that.
