Scholes was quoted by Mirror:

“It’s ridiculous really, how well he’s doing,"
“We knew he’d make a big difference to this team when he came in and he’s been sensational.
“As I said before he came, United really struggled to create a chance. They kept possession well but couldn’t create a chance, couldn’t score a goal. He’s totally transformed the team.”

Dropping points at the King Power Stadium meant that United threw away the opportunity to close the gap on League leaders and defending champions Liverpool.

It also meant that the Red Devils' away winning run comes to an end as they failed to nail an 11th victory on the road which could have equalled a Premier League record..
