Manchester United could miss four players against Leicester City

Manchester United could be without four players for the Premier League clash against Leicester City this weekend.

The Red Devils were disappointing before the international break with just one point earned against Aston Villa and Everton.

They will be keen to make amends against the Foxes, but are expected to be without four of their first-team regulars.

Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane are carrying injuries, and they are confirmed absentees for the Midlands trip.

Meanwhile, Fred and Edinson Cavani are also expected to miss the encounter due to their international commitments.

Fred and Cavani will be in action for Brazil and Uruguay respectively on Friday morning, and will then travel to Manchester.

With a short turnaround time, they are not expected to make the matchday squad for Saturday's game at the King Power Stadium.

United are currently two points behind Chelsea for the top position in the league standings. They have a tough run of games coming up.
