Leicester stars arrive in Manchester ahead of United showdown as Claudio Ranieri plays down issues with Jose Mourinho as 'prehistoric'

Premier League champions Leicester arrived in Manchester on Friday afternoon ahead of their showdown with Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Manager Claudio Ranieri was accompanied by players including Jamie Vardy, Riyad Mahrez and captain Wes Morgan, as they made their way to the Hilton hotel in the city centre.
