Leicester City approach Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill for talks about manager role

Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill is the latest boss to be sounded out about the vacant Leicester job.

Sportsmail understands caretaker boss Craig Shakespeare is in pole position to land the role, particularly if the Foxes beat Hull this weekend.

That has not stopped Leicester chiefs from approaching other potential successors to Claudio Ranieri, who was brutally axed last week.
