The Leicester man has slammed Foxes' campaign overseen by Manchester United legend Ruud van Nistelrooy as a total embarrassment.

"No words I have can ever express my feelings of anger and sadness with the way this season has gone. There are no excuses," Vardy wrote on social media, as per BBC Sports.

"Having been at this club for so long, we've experienced so many highs and successes—and this season has been nothing but miserable and, for me personally, a total embarrassment. It hurts, and I know you're feeling it too."

"To the fans, I'm sorry. Sorry we haven't performed," he added.

While Leicester have nothing left to play for but pride, the Foxes have five matches to increase their points tally and potentially their ranking on the log.

They currently place 19th with 18 points, behind Ipswich in 18th with 21 points.
