Leicester visit Old trafford on Sunday hoping to claim a win which would win them the Premier League title.
Speaking at a pre match press conference, Ranieri insists money cannot buy success.
The Foxes have spent less than £30million on their squad since last summer, while United have fielded sides which have cost over £200million this season.
Shinji Okazaki was Leicester’s biggest buy last year at £7million, while United splashed out £25million on Memphis Depay and an initial £36million for Anthony Martial.

Ranieri said said: “Once in the life it can happen. That is football. Once every 50 years a little team with less money can beat the biggest ones.
“If there are 20 teams who spend millions of pounds at the end of the season one will win the title and three will go down. Now there are very special circumstances. The big teams don’t have the consistency and normal teams have the consistency during the season.
“From August to April and now it’s important to keep the same consistency in May. I’m waiting for next season, United at the top, Chelsea at the top, Liverpool, (Manchester) City and Arsenal and we are fighting.”
Leicester are seven points ahead of Tottenham with three games left to play this season and a win at Man Utd will see them win their first ever league title.
