Leicester City, who are behind second-placed United in the Premier League only on goal difference, were knocked out after sliding to a 2-0 loss at home to Czech champions Slavia Prague.
Lukas Provod fired Slavia in front just after half-time following a goalless draw in the first leg, and Senegalese teenager Abdallah Sima ensured the visitors extended their run in the competition. "We didn't create enough over two legs. We didn't defend with any intensity. We gave away two disappointing goals. The better team won," said Leicester coach Brendan Rodgers.
