Man Utd boss Mourinho axes fullback pair for Leicester trip

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has dropped Daley Blind and Matteo Darmian for their trip to Leicester City.

The pair have not travelled with the Manchester United squad for tomorrow's Premier League clash at Leicester.

Blind and Darmian came in for criticism following United's midweek 2-1 League Cup defeat to Championship side Bristol City and look to have been axed as a result.

The defenders were not spotted as United's players and staff boarded a flight to Leicester ahead of tomorrow's evening kick-off at the King Power Stadium.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who came on at Bristol after being left out of eight of United's previous nine matchday squads, has travelled with the rest of the party.
