Daley Blind and Matteo Darmian have not travelled with the Manchester United squad for tomorrow's Premier League clash at Leicester.
Blind and Darmian came in for criticism following United's midweek 2-1 League Cup defeat to Championship side Bristol City and look to have been axed as a result.
The defenders were not spotted as United's players and staff boarded a flight to Leicester ahead of tomorrow's evening kick-off at the King Power Stadium.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who came on at Bristol after being left out of eight of United's previous nine matchday squads, has travelled with the rest of the party.
Antonio Valencia, Marouane Fellaini and Michael Carrick have all been ruled out of the Leicester game and are likely to miss the entire festive programme.
