Former Leicester City striker Gary has hailed Moises Caicedo for his performance against Manchester United.

Caicedo was the official man of the match, and Gary Lineker was in awe of his performance.

“Chelsea probably weren’t at their scintillating best but they know what they’re doing and you’d always consider that a decent point I think,” Lineker said on The Rest is Football podcast.

“Overall I thought Moises Caicedo was the best player on the pitch, he’s really come good of late.”

Ex-Manchester City defender Micah Richards agreed with Lineker’s take, as he added: “I thought Caicedo was outstanding today.

“He’s found his confidence. It’s the Caicedo we’ve seen at Brighton now, isn’t it? He ran the midfield.

“But there’s just a massive disconnect between Manchester United’s midfield and Rasmus Hojlund up front.

“[New United manager] Ruben Amorim has a massive job on his hands. I thought United were there for the taking so that would be my only worry for Chelsea but it’s been a really good start to the season. The question now is can they kick on?”
