Leicester have treated Claudio Ranieri like a 'flea-infested dog', claims Manchester United great Eric Cantona

Eric Cantona has accused the Leicester City players of being 'ungrateful brats' and 'traitors' following the sacking of title-winning manager Claudio Ranieri.

The Italian was dismissed just nine months after lifting last season's Premier League trophy with the Foxes engulfed in a relegation battle.

He was removed following a 2-1 Champions League defeat by Sevilla, but his replacement Craig Shakespeare is set to take over until the end of the season after winning his first two games in charge.
