I think both Maddison and Chilwell will be sold for huge fees to big clubs next summer. Leicester are like a talent factory who just keep developing top players and then selling them on.

With the emergence and development of Mount and Emerson I can't see us being after either, unfortunately. Can see Arse, United, and City going all out for Chilwell and United going all out for Maddison to replace Lingard and Mata who are average these days.

Demarai Gray: The Leicester City Nowhere Man Whose Time Is Running Out to Impress

https://www.90min.com/posts/6457850-demarai-gray-the-leicester-city-nowhere-man-whose-time-is-running-out-to-impress

Early on in the second half of Manchester United and Leicester City's recent meeting at Old Trafford, an almighty roar erupted from the Stretford End. The United faithful weren't celebrating a goal, they were celebrating a tackle. 

With Demarai Gray looking to break down the right hand side - and with only his former teammate Harry Maguire to beat - ol' Slabhead stood firm, dispossessing the Foxes winger before swatting him aside and marauding up the pitch to start an attack of his own making. 

This moment has already been canonised by some Manchester United fans as the point in which Maguire became a fully fledged Red Devils hero, the immovable centre-back gallantly standing up to the hysterical Leicester fans who had had the audacity to boo their former talisman when his name was read out before the match. 

It's certainly a nice image - a compelling one as well - however Maguire's tackle is in reality far more symbolic of the point that Demarai Gray is at in his career, as opposed to where the England international is at in his. 

Let's flash back to the moment in question, whilst also adding some 'exposition' as they say in Hollywood. 

Gray inclusion in the starting XI was a shock. The winger had been absent from the squad altogether during the Foxes' opening two fixtures and a solitary substitute appearance against Bournemouth was the only prior time Gray had featured this season.
