Manchester United out to avoid worst-ever losing run against Leicester City

Manchester United will be looking to avoid their worst-ever losing run against Leicester City when they welcome the Foxes to Old Trafford on Saturday evening.

The Red Devils will be aiming to give their top-four hopes a boost when they return to Premier League action, with the club currently sixth in the table, four points behind fourth-placed Arsenal.

However, Man United have lost each of their last three matches against Leicester in all competitions, suffering a 3-1 defeat in the FA Cup in March 2021, in addition to losing the last two league games between the two sides.

Indeed, the Foxes won 2-1 at Old Trafford in England's top flight last term before recording a 4-2 victory over the 20-time English champions at the King Power Stadium earlier this season.

Man United have never lost four in a row against Leicester in their history, so the club will be looking to avoid an unwanted record at Old Trafford in Saturday's late start.

Ralf Rangnick's side recorded a 3-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in their last Premier League match on March 12.

However, the Manchester giants entered the international break off the back of a disappointing result, losing 1-0 to Atletico Madrid in the second leg of their last-16 Champions League clash to exit the competition 2-1 on aggregate.
