How Leicester City Fared Against Man Utd Check All Past Stats Now

Alright so today I wanted to dig into how Leicester City actually did against Manchester United over the years. You know how people just throw around hot takes? Yeah I don’t trust that crap. Needed to see the cold hard stats myself.

Where I started

First thing I did was grab my laptop and hit up Google. Typed in “Leicester vs Man Utd head to head” – obviously made sure to include both “Premier League” and “all competitions” because cups matter too. Remembered how everyone kept chatting about that 5-3 win back in 2014 but was that even typical? Doubted it.

Found this football stats site after scrolling past like three betting sponsors. Annoying as hell but whatever. Clicked through their historical matchup section like:

• Filtered for Premier League era first since I didn’t care about 1920s football
• Saw a toggle for “home/away” splits – smashed that button
• Noticed they track goals per match by default which was perfect

The deep dive

Started scrolling through seasons backward from 2023. Kept muttering “damn!” seeing how many 1-0 losses Leicester ate at Old Trafford. Seriously – felt like every damn away game was an automatic L. Made me check the calendar tabs to confirm they weren’t all playing on rainy Tuesday nights or something.

Then I spotted the 2019/20 season where Leicester actually beat them twice. Got suspicious so I cross-checked with another stats aggregator by:

• Manually counting United’s starting XI those matches
• Realizing Maguire played for Leicester in one game against his future club – hilarious
• Noting both wins came during Ole’s “vibes only” coaching phase

Numbers don’t lie

Saw the overall record plastered at the top finally: 69 games total. Did quick mental math like:

• Man Utd wins: Roughly 40 freaking times (felt too high but stats said yep)
• Leicester wins: Only 15? Ouch city
• Goals difference: Almost double for United obviously

But get this – checked goals scored per decade because why not. Nearly choked seeing Leicester didn’t beat United AT ALL between 1998-2013. That’s wild when you think about squad differences.

Final thoughts

Closing everything feeling kinda disappointed if I’m honest. Everyone talks about Leicester’s fairy tale season but against United? They mostly got slapped around. Except that one wild 5-3 at home – that match deserves its own damn documentary.

So yeah. Next time someone argues Leicester are “United’s bogey team,” I’m dumping these spreadsheets on their head. Stats ain’t everything but damn they shut up hot takes real quick.
