Leicester boss reflects on 'angry' Louis van Gaal following Man Utd clash
LEICESTER boss Claudio Ranieri says it's better that Louis van Gaal was angry rather than him following Saturday's draw with Manchester United.

Van Gaal altered United's defence in the 1-1 stalemate to three centre-halves and two wing-backs to quash the Foxes threat on the counter-attack.
But Ranieri was pleased in-form striker Jamie Vardy, who bagged in a record 11th successive game, was able to exploit their defence at the first time of asking.
He said: "I was sure he wanted to change something. When we scored I thought about Louis, he put three at the back and in the first counter-attack we scored a goal.
"It was good for us but maybe he was very, very angry. It is much better he is angry than me."

On the importance of the draw at the King Power Stadium, the Italian added: "Now I am thinking there are 11 points to go.
"It’s important for our honour and our project to achieve 40 points, and then we put another little step."
