Leicester City players were given a helping hand before their stunning victory over Manchester United by Buddhist monks, who blessed them at the King Power Stadium, the Mail online reports.

Scorers David Nugent and Jamie Vardy wore necklaces featuring Buddha figures after their 5-3 win and manager Nigel Pearson greeted the men in orange warmly, saying: ‘You can come every week!’

The club’s Thai owner, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, has flown in monks from the Far East previously to attend the training ground and conduct ceremonies.
