Shaw, Antony, Mount - Manchester United injury news and return dates ahead of Leicester fixture
Manchester United are not expecting to have any players back when they host Leicester City in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night.
Ruud van Nistelrooy is set to take interim charge for the match, as the club continue to work on a deal that would see Sporting boss Ruben Amorim appointed as their new head coach.

Hide AdIt means United are still set to be without injured full-backs Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia, while Leny Yoro will return from his long lay-off next month having never made a competitive appearance under the manager who signed him.
Ahead of the clash with Leicester, here is a round-up of all the latest injury news:
Mason Mount - 3 November vs Chelsea (H)
Ten Hag hoped Mount would be back ‘soon’ after his latest injury setback. He has not been spotted in any recent training imagery, so a place on the bench against Chelsea would be the earliest possible return date.
Harry Maguire - 3 November vs Chelsea (H)
Maguire was only set for a few weeks out but also hasn’t been spotted in any training photographs yet. A return against Chelsea this weekend isn’t impossible, but perhaps unlikely.

Malacia has been a regular in first-team training for a while now is believed to be very close to making his return. He is not expected back to face Leicester but could be on the bench next week.
Kobbie Mainoo - 7 November vs PAOK (H)
Mainoo was initially ruled out for a couple of weeks and could potentially be back to face PAOK in the Europa League next week.
Luke Shaw - 10 November vs Leicester (H)
Shaw took part in an individual training regime last week and there is hope he will be back in action before the next international break. During his final press conference, Ten Hag urged for caution after his lengthy lay-off.
Antony - 10 November vs Leicester (H)
Antony is only believed to have sprained his ankle against Fenerbahce last week and could be back to face Leicester before the next international break.
Yoro has made good progress in his recovery and is hoping to be back in action next month. Ipswich away after the international break seems like a realistic target.
