Man Utd team news vs Leicester and predicted lineup | OneFootball

Manchester United will be looking to build momentum in the Premier League when they travel to relegation-threatened Leicester City on Sunday at 7pm.

Man Utd predicted lineup vs Leicester

Man Utd (3-4-2-1): Onana; De Ligt, Lindelof, Heaven; Mazraoui, Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro, Dalot; Garnacho, Zirkzee; Hojlund

Way down in 14th place, Man Utd must be near flawless between now and the end of the season to secure European qualification via their league position.

Their more realistic route is via the Europa League, in which Ruben Amorim’s side reached the quarter-finals on Thursday following a 4-1 victory Real Sociedad.

The Red Devils now return to league action against familiar opposition this season in Leicester. Indeed, the two sides have already faced off three times across all competitions this term, with Man Utd prevailing on each occasion.

Fresh from making his first start against Sociedad on Thursday, youngster Ayden Heaven could retain his place on the left side of the back three.

Although, that may be determined by the fitness of Harry Maguire, who should be available after missing out in midweek.

Heaven deputised brilliantly in the absence of Leny Yoro, who will not be available until after the international break.

The same can be said for Mason Mount, while the game is also too soon for the likes of Luke Shaw and Kobbie Mainoo.

Patrick Dorgu serves the final game of his three-match domestic suspension for a red card against Ipswich Town.

Lisandro Martinez and Amad Diallo, who will not play again this season, are long-term absentees.

Fernandes the man in form

Bruno Fernandes has certainly led by example for Man Utd in recent times.

The Red Devils skipper has scored (two) or assisted (one) in each of his last three Premier League games, while he was his side’s hat-trick hero against Sociedad.

Fernandes has also been directly involved in five goals (scoring three) across Man Utd’s three meetings with Leicester this season.

The Portugal midfielder will expect to continue in that vein against a Leicester side that has lost 12 of their last 13 Premier League games, while failing to score in the last five.

Meanwhile, the Foxes are in danger of becoming the first English top-flight side to lose seven consecutive home matches without finding the net. Also, two more goals against would see them become the first team in Premier League history to concede 1,000 in fewer than 700 games.
