(4-2-3-1) Rashford, Hojlund & Garnacho to start – Predicted Man United starting XI vs Leicester City: team news and injury updates
Ruud van Nistelrooy will take charge of Manchester United for the final time as interim boss against Leicester City this weekend.
Last week, Man United defeated the Foxes 5-2 in van Nistelrooy’s debut Carabao Cup game as manager, scoring four goals in the first half.
Following Thursday’s first European victory of the season against PAOK and a draw with Chelsea, the Dutchman will be hoping to end in style.
Amad Diallo scored twice in the second half of the match against the Greek champions, solidifying his case for a starting position.
Marcus Rashford came off the substitutes bench in the second half, while Alejandro Garnacho started on the left of United’s attack, with the Ivorian starting on the right.
After the final, Amad returned to the field barefooted, despite being pulled off late on due to a foot injury.
Mason Mount came on as a second-half sub on Thursday having recovered from his most recent setback but United remain without a host of other players.
Kobbie Mainoo is likely to remain sidelined along with Harry Maguire, with both left out of the latest England squad this week.
Luke Shaw is still to return to first-team training with Tyrell Malacia also working his way back, likely to be given minutes for the Under-21 side before any first-team action.
Leny Yoro meanwhile is making progress and could be in contention for Rubem Amorim’s first game in charge against Ipswich Town on 24 November.
Predicted Man Utd XI to face Leicester
Onana, Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot, Ugarte, Casemiro, Fernandes, Rashford, Hojlund, Garnacho
