Manchester United's daunting run of fixtures kicks off with a trip to Leicester City on Saturday afternoon as both sides aim to secure what would be a vital three points for either outfit.
The international break arguably came at just the right time for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side - whose poor form has led to question marks over the United manager's future.
A 1-0 home defeat to Aston Villa was followed by more points dropped at Old Trafford with a 1-1 draw against Everton, while the Champions League win over Villarreal was anything but convincing.

Leicester meanwhile, have endured an even more disappointing start to the campaign - languishing as low as thirteenth having won just two of their seven league fixtures.
Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers has struggled to recreate the heights seen at the King Power Stadium last season, but will aim to bounce back in the best possible way with a home win over United.
Of their two wins thus far, only one has come at home - against Wolves on the opening day of the season.

Leicester vs Man United is scheduled for a 3pm kick-off on Saturday, October 16, 2021 at the King Power Stadium.
The contest will be officiated by Craig Pawson, while Darren England will take charge of VAR.
