Manchester United XI vs Leicester – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Manchester United travel to face Leicester City and former favourite Ruud van Nistelrooy this evening.

Fresh from a morale-boosting Europa League win over Real Sociedad, the Red Devils turn their attention back to the Premier League. Ruben Amorim’s side have little but pride to play for in the Premier League but the head coach will be keen to continue the momentum. United face Lyon in the Europa League quarter-finals after the international break.

Bruno Fernandes scored a hat-trick in that win over Sociedad on Thursday and set a new record of 41 goal involvements in the Europa League. The midfielder has now scored six times in his last eight appearances across all competitions.

United face a Leicester side struggling at the bottom of the table. Mired in 19th, the Foxes are nine points from safety. Ruud van Nistelrooy was appointed as the club’s manager in December, following an impressive interim stint at Manchester United earlier in the campaign. However, the Dutchman has lost 12 of his last 13 league games in charge.

Mason Mount could make his return to the Manchester United team after resuming first-team training. However, a cautious approach is likely to be taken with his reintroduction.

Amorim is still dealing with several high-profile absentees. Leny Yoro has joined Luke Shaw and Lisandro Martinez on the sidelines, while Amad Diallo (ankle) and Kobbie Mainoo (calf) are still in the treatment room.

There’s better news on Manuel Ugarte and Harry Maguire, who could return. Patrick Dorgu is suspended for the Red Devils.
