Manchester United
Ruud van Nistelrooy has a new injury concern hampering his preparations ahead of his final game in charge. The Manchester United interim manager might be bereft of the services of six first-team players vs Leicester City on Sunday.
Amad Diallo is the latest absentee, with the Ivorian attacker recovering from a knock he picked up earlier this week against PAOK. The 22-year-old might return, but Luke Shaw (calf), Tyrell Malacia (knee), Harry Maguire (calf), Leny Yoro (foot), and Kobbie Mainoo (hamstring) remain on the sidelines. However, Shaw, Yoro, and Malacia are closing in on returning to action.
Andre Onana is an automatic pick between the sticks, with Manchester United lining up in a 4-2-3-1 formation in front of him vs Leicester City on Sunday. The backline should feature Diogo Dalot, Matthijs de Ligt, Lisandro Martinez, and Noussair Mazraoui.
As for the midfield unit, there is no looking past Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte in the double pivot. Bruno Fernandes will reprise the no. 10 role, with Amad Diallo and Marcus Rashford being the two wide attackers. However, Alejandro Garnacho will start if Diallo is not fit. Finally, Rasmus Hojlund will lead the line for Manchester United against Leicester City on Sunday.
Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Onana; Dalot, de Ligt, Martinez, Mazraoui; Casemiro, Ugarte; Diallo, Bruno Fernandes, Rashford; Hojlund
Leicester
Unlike his counterpart in the Manchester United dugout, Steve Cooper barely has any issues to worry about ahead of the trip to Old Trafford. The Leicester City manager might be without four first-team players on Sunday.
Hamza Choudhury (shoulder), Bobby De Cordova-Reid (Achilles), and Patson Daka (ankle) are closing in on returning to action, and the trio might feature in the matchday squad. However, Jakub Stolarczyk (ankle) remains on the sidelines, although he will likely return after the international break.
Mads Hermansen will take his spot between the sticks, with Leicester City lining up in a 4-2-3-1 formation in front of him vs Manchester United on Sunday. The backline will feature James Justin, Wout Faes, Caleb Okoli, and Victor Kristiansen.
As for the midfield unit, Boubakary Soumare and Harry Winks should pair up in the double pivot, with Wilfred Ndidi and Oliver Skipp missing out. Facundo Buonanotte will reprise the no. 10 role, with Abdul Fatawu Issahaku and Jordan Ayew being the two wide attackers. Finally, Jamie Vardy will spearhead the Leicester City attack against Manchester United.
Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Hermansen; Justin, Faes, Okoli, Kristiansen; Soumare, Winks; Fatawu, Buonanotte, Ayew; Vardy
Prediction: Manchester United 3-1 Leicester City
