Leicester City manager Ruud van Nistelrooy says his side are "far off" Brentford after their 4-0 defeat in the Premier League at the King Power Stadium.

Leicester City boss Ruud van Nistelrooy admits he sees Thomas Frank "living the dream" as Brentford manager. The Foxes host Brentford on Friday night. “That’s the dream for a manager to be able to think in those long terms,” Van Nistelrooy said of Frank's six years with the Bees.

Van Nistelrooy has given Leicester an identity, and performances – especially from the midfield – have been good. Defensive issues and individual errors persist, though, and the lack of signings in January, alongside injuries to key players, makes his job even more challenging.
