Drinkwater, Simpson haunt United

Reunions often have the capacity to bring embarrassment, but rarely this much. Manchester United against Leicester City features two players who can be portrayed as the ones who got away. Danny Simpson and Danny Drinkwater, graduates of the youth system at Old Trafford, will have a homecoming of sorts on Saturday. Between them, they have more title winners' medals than Premier League starts for United.

Simpson started one league game during his time with United -- he was hooked at halftime against Everton in 2007 -- while the closest Drinkwater came to first-team action was as an unused substitute at Hull in 2009.
