Ruud van Nistelrooy gets fitness boost in his final game as interim manager before Ruben Amorim takes over
Amad Diallo keeps his place in the Manchester United team against Leicester after his starring role in Thursday’s Europa League win over PAOK.
Diallo scored twice at Old Trafford and the winger is fit to start despite being forced off late on after his midweek double.
The 22-year-old has not started in the Premier League since the 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace on September 21.
Diallo starts ahead of Alejandro Garnacho in the only change from the team that drew 1-1 with Chelsea last weekend.
In his final game as interim head coach before Ruben Amorim takes over at United, Ruud van Nistelrooy has gone with Manuel Ugarte and Casemiro in midfield.
Van Nistelrooy has largely stuck with that side after United made it two wins in three games since Erik ten Hag was sacked.
United defenders Luke Shaw and Leny Yoro are back in training but are not ready to return.
Kobbie Mainoo is closing in on a return but the midfielder will not be back until after the international break.
Confirmed Man Utd XI: Onana, Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot, Casemiro, Ugarte, Amad, Fernandes, Rashford, Hojlund
Subs: Bayindir, Heaton, Evans, Lindelof, Eriksen, Mount, Antony, Garnacho, Zirkzee
Injured: Yoro, Maguire, Malacia, Shaw, Mainoo
Time and date: 2pm GMT, Sunday, 10 November, 2024
