Ole Gunnar Solskjær is almost in crisis-management mode. His Manchester United team have not won since the opening day and as he continues to bemoan missed chances, the decision not to replace Romelu Lukaku becomes ever more odd. Leicester arrive with three more points – they have eight – so this is a real challenge for Solskjær and his side. Jamie Jackson
