Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists his side will be '100 per cent fresh' for Sunday's clash against Leicester City.

The Red Devils have slipped up in their last two games, losing to Chelsea and drawing with West Ham United on Wednesday.

They need at least a draw against the Foxes to qualify for the Champions League, and Solskjaer says his side will be ready.

He told Sky Sports: "We started OK but in the last 10-15 minutes of the first half it became a bit frantic. We gave them the chance to counter-attack and gave some daft fouls away. They've got players of a good size that are always a danger. The penalty made it hard for us second half.

"We've not been dealt the best of hands with the recovery times in the last couple of weeks but that's because we've been in the FA Cup. That's how it is but we've got three days now... the extra day before Sunday will make us 100-per-cent fresh.

"We've given ourselves a great opportunity. We wanted to give ourselves the chance to head there and get into the Champions League by beating them. Now, we'd be OK with a draw, but we'll be going there to win. You'll prepare as you always do to go and win the game."
