Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been told that signing Paris Saint-Germain centre-back Marquinhos would help Manchester United become genuine Premier League title contenders. Former Manchester City defender Joleon Lescott believes the Brazilian, who was excellent during PSG’s run to the Champions League semi-finals, would be a more important addition than Tottenham forward Harry Kane. Even a draw against the Foxes will make catching City almost impossible given that the latter have a far superior goal difference. United’s 3-1 win over 10-man Aston Villa on Sunday extended City’s wait to be crowned champions. A vastly improved second-half performance was required to turn the game around after Bertrand Traore thumped in the opening goal.
