Mount is fit again after injury and, as expected, has been named on the bench at the King Power Stadium.

Ruben Amorim has made it clear he is a big fan of Mount, who was starting to play well in his 3-4-3 system before his injury, and has confirmed the midfielder will play if he is fit.

“We will see, but we need every player and if he is fit, I am going to play him,” said Amorim. “He cannot play too many minutes, just five minutes of Mason Mount is perfect.

“I already said, I really love Mason Mount. I see him and I know how he suffers.

“He was European champion, he is a talent and he is a really talented player. So we will try to manage the load and you already saw some players who have a lot of problems during one time, in some moments, he can stay fit and I believe a lot in Mason Mount and we need players like Mason Mount.”

Mason Mount returns to the Manchester United squad for their game against Leicester

Manuel Ugarte makes a comeback after returning to the squad for Thursday's Europa League win against Real Sociedad after two games out injured.

Four starts in 11 days has proved to be too much to ask of Casemiro and Ugarte returns in midfield alongside captain Bruno Fernandes.

United are once again without Harry Maguire, who has missed the last three matches and is not fit enough to feature against his former club.

This means Ayden Heaven keep his place in defence after his impressive display on Thursday.

Joshua Zirkzee drops to the bench as Alejandro Garnacho and Christian Eriksen are selected to start in the two No10 roles behind Rasmus Hojlund, who looked lively against Sociedad.

Patrick Dorgu serves the final game of a three-match ban, while Leny Yoro remains sidelined with a foot injury.

Manchester United XI: Onana; De Ligt, Lindelof, Heaven; Mazraoui, Ugarte, Fernandes, Dalot; Garnacho, Eriksen, Hojlund.
