Manchester United will face Leicester City in their first Premier League after the international break on Saturday. The Red Devils need a victory in their bid to reclaim their fifth spot on the table. However, they must play without Cristiano Ronaldo, who is out with illness.

Edinson Cavani will also miss the game through injury. The Uruguayan forward picked up a calf problem while being on international duty, with Ralf Rangnick confirming he might stay on the sidelines for up to four weeks.
