Patson Daka makes admission over first season as Leicester City have advantage over Man United

Here’s the latest Leicester City news on Tuesday, May 31, 2022.

Patson Daka has admitted his maiden Leicester City campaign did not go as well as he had hoped.

The Zambian striker, a £23m signing from RB Salzburg last summer, netted 11 goals in his first season in blue to finish as the club’s third-highest scorer. However, he had a difficult conclusion to the campaign, scoring just once in his final 15 outings.

After scoring 60 goals over the previous two seasons with Salzburg, it seems Daka may have been expecting more of himself at the King Power Stadium. Nevertheless, he retains faith in his ability and hopes to can kick on now he has settled into a new country.

It was not so long ago that Leicester City felt a little like Manchester United’s B team.

City provided a home for the players that could not make the grade at Old Trafford, with Danny Drinkwater, Ritchie De Laet, Matty James, and Tom Lawrence all signed in a short period. Given the success of the first three transfers, it was a fruitful partnership the club had built.

Since then, City have risen the ranks and are now an occasional challenger to United in the top half of the Premier League table. Over the past three seasons, City have finished four, eight, and six points behind the Red Devils.

Battling in the same area of the table, it feels like City have outgrown the point where they could take United’s cast-offs and improve. But it’s not quite that simple.
