Matteo Darmian and Daley Blind have been dropped for Manchester United‘s clash with Leicester City on Saturday.

The Italy international was slammed by United fans for his performance in the 2-1 defeat to Bristol City in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday evening.

Blind, who has only made four Premier League appearances this season, also struggled in the loss against the Championship club at Ashton Gate.

According to the Manchester Evening News, both Blind and Darmian were not with United’s squad as they made their way to Leicester on Friday evening.

During his press conference on Friday, Mourinho refused to criticise his players for their defeat to Bristol City.

‘I could be critical with my players but they did enough to win, they lost when they were the only team people believed could win,’ he said.

‘So we move on and we move on quickly because we have another match.’
