Speaking to MUTV and in his press conference ahead of the clash with the Foxes at Old Trafford, the manager confirmed Ander Herrera and Nemanja Matic are among several players who could miss the first game and those who only returned to training on Monday are not 100 per cent ready.
“No miracles,” he declared. “The players with a proper pre-season are fit and they are strong. For example, Alexis Sanchez had a good pre-season with lots of matches and lots of minutes. He's more than ready but you cannot have the players who arrived only last Monday after the World Cup semi-finals or final and three weeks' holiday.
