Leicester manager Nigel Pearson is preparing to face Manchester United on Saturday but has refused to rule out bringing any new faces to the King Power stadium before then.

Leicester sit bottom of the Premier League, having conceded 34 goals in 22 games.

Huth's move to the struggling side will mean he may become available to leave the Britannia on a permanent deal during the summer.
