Steve Cooper must take Facundo Buonanotte risk vs Man Utd to benefit Leicester City long term
Facundo Buonanotte has been an outstanding performance for Leicester City since joining on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion.
Leicester City’s Facundo Buonanotte’s performance at the King Power Stadium has been impressive.
The Argentine has provided the majority of the Foxes’ attacking danger this season, already with three goals and two assists in the Premier League.
Buonanotte outperformed Troy Deeney in Leicester’s recent comeback victory over relegation rivals Southampton.
The South American’s quick feet and speed make him entertaining to watch, earning him comparisons to the world’s finest player.
In a recent interview, Buonanotte responded to comparisons with Lionel Messi. He remained humble, but the fact that he is being compared to his fellow countryman shows how potential he is.
As a result, it would be a significant loss if Steve Cooper had to go without the Brighton loanee this season.
Steve Cooper must start Facundo Buonanotte vs Manchester United
Leicester’s next Premier League game is against Manchester United on Saturday.
Buonanotte is on a precarious ban ahead of the game. The Argentine has already received four yellow cards in the league this season.
As a result of another booking against the Red Devils, Buonanotte will be suspended for Leicester’s first game return from international duty.
Despite the possibility of suspension, Cooper must start Buonanotte against Manchester United. This is because, even if he obtains a yellow card this weekend, he will just miss one game against Chelsea.
The Blues are now fourth in the Premier League and are expected to defeat Leicester, even if Buonanotte is healthy for the game.
However, if the teenager is rested against United and then starts against Chelsea, he faces a suspension for a game against Brentford in late November.
Given that Brentford is a lot more winnable game on paper, Leicester would benefit more from Buonanotte missing out against Chelsea, allowing his yellow card record to be cleansed for ‘easier’ matchups ahead.
Leicester City face Jordan Ayew decision ahead of Manchester United
Buonanotte is not the only Leicester City player on the verge of punishment before of Manchester United’s game.
Jordan Ayew has four yellow cards in the Premier League this season and could miss an upcoming game.
Given Ayew’s importance to the Foxes this season, he should start against Manchester United as well.
Cooper, on the other hand, may not want two attackers missing at the same time, so deciding on the former Crystal Palace man may be difficult.
