Ric Flair Sends Leicester City Premier League Message, Taunts Manchester United

As a man who won 16 world heavyweight championships as a professional wrestler, Ric Flair knows what’s required to clinch a title against the odds. And the Nature Boy has offered his advice to Leicester City, as they close in on a surprise Premier League win. 

Claudio Ranieri’s Foxes are five points clear at the top with four games remaining and Flair, speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live (h/t Matthew Gale of Goal), urged them to keep looking forward.

“You've come this far, you've walked that aisle,” said Flair. “You’ve beaten the best. Just bring it. Don’t look back, just look forward.”

Flair next turned to Leicester’s upcoming fixtures, which will see them face Swansea City, Manchester United, Everton and then Chelsea on the final day of the campaign.

“Manchester United, you're up next,” roared the veteran. “You've got no game, guys. Leicester City, all the way. Whoo!”

If Leicester were to get over the line it’d complete a storyline as remarkable as some of those conjured by the WWE, where Flair currently acts as a manager to his daughter, the Women’s Champion, Charlotte.
