Man United Dealt Major Blow, Two Players Already Ruled Out For Leicester Game

Manchester United have already ruled out TWO players for their Premier League clash against Leicester City.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side have dropped points in their last two league games, losing to Aston Villa before drawing with Everton last weekend.

And ahead of resuming their league campaign against Leicester on October 16, they've been dealt a big blow.

The club believe they will be without Edinson Cavani and Fred for the trip to Leicester due to the South American stars' international commitments.

Per Simon Stone, Man United are expecting Cavani and Fred to play in all three South American World Cup qualifiers.

Brazil play Uruguay on October 15, the night before Man United's fixture at Leicester.

Cavani and Fred started in Man United's 1-1 draw with Everton at Old Trafford.

The Brazilian midfielder has been a regular in Solskjaer's team, taking up a position in centre-midfield.

As for the Uruguayan, he made his first league start of the season as he played ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo, who was benched.
