Ronaldo, Cavani & Pogba - Manchester United players availability and injury updates ahead of Leicester game

We’ve rounded up which Red Devils have had fitness updates over the last few weeks, and who could miss the clash on Saturday.

Manchester United return to Premier League action on Saturday when they host Leicester City, and know they’ll need to take close to maximum points from their remaining nine matches if the team are to finish in the Champions League spots.

The Red Devils currently trail fourth-place Arsenal by four points, but crucially the Gunners have a game in hand and could stretch that advantage to seven points.

Ralf Rangnick’s men are also lagging behind Tottenham Hotspur in the table, which is why the German will be so keen to return with a win at Old Trafford on Saturday.

There’s plenty for Rangnick to contend with when making his team selection for the visit of Brendan Rodgers’s men, including those who were away with their various countries during the recent international break.

Eighteen Red Devils met up with their senior national squads over the last two weeks, with games involving United players taking place across four continents.

Therefore, it could be on Rangnick’s radar to potentially select first-teamers who remained at Carrington over the break, which includes key men such as David De Gea, Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford.

Ahead of Saturday’s match, we’ve rounded up all those who approach the game with any question marks surrounding their fitness.
