Nemanja Matic says Man United are still in the Premier League title race

Nemanja Matic has sent a defiant message to Manchester United supporters in the aftermath of a frustrating 4-2 defeat against Leicester City.

After heading into the international break on a whimper, the Old Trafford giants were humbled by the Foxes upon their return to Premier League action.

It was a result that leaves fifth-placed United five points behind table-topping Chelsea.

That is by no means an unsurmountable gap with 30 matches remaining, while there were some positives to take for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Indeed, the contest saw Marcus Rashford come off the bench to make his first appearance of the season, after his summer shoulder surgery, while United captain Harry Maguire (calf) started to ease injury defensive injury concerns amid what is a testing run of fixtures for Solskjaer and his men.
