Leicester City find themselves sitting at the top of the Premier League as they prepare to face Manchester United
A victory over second-placed United will ensure they stay there for a while longer.
Being top of the league and boasting the nation’s hottest striker in Jamie Vardy has prompted some to suggest that the Foxes could be on the brink of mounting a title challenge.
It’s even reached the point where Premier League managers are being asked if Leicester could become champions at the end of the year.
Gary Lineker, who began his career with the club, clearly finds it a bit amusing.
Upon reading that Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal believes a Leicester title was possible, he tweeted the following:
Even though it's bullshit, I'm having this headline framed. https://t.co/6UOVRuTjob

But it wasn’t just Louis van Gaal. Arsene Wenger also claimed that Leicester couldn’t be ruled out.
Lineker is clearly keeping grounded about it all:
Little bit title contenders. It's getting silly! https://t.co/ravh4VyGmV
