Manchester United will face off against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on Sunday afternoon hoping to grind out a result away from home so that they can ensure UEFA Champions League football for next season. The Red Devils only managed to play out a 1-1 draw versus West Ham United in midweek, so they would be desperate to end the season on a positive note this weekend.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will once again opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation and could bring Aaron Wan-Bissaka back to his first-team for this clash away at the East Midlands.
4-2-3-1 Manchester United Predicted Lineup To Face Leicester City
Defence
David De Gea is expected to keep his place in between the sticks for Man United despite conceding four goals in his past two starts across all competitions. Harry Maguire will continue to partner Victor Lindelof at the centre of the Red Devils defence as they try to keep Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy quiet throughout the 90 minutes.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka will come back into Solskjaer’s first-team to feature at right-back after being used from the bench versus the Hammers in midweek. Brandon Williams could retain his spot on the other side as the left-back. Solskjaer will ask both his full-backs to stop the Foxes wide players from dominating the ball out on the flanks.
Midfield
Paul Pogba will operate as a deep-lying playmaker alongside Nemanja Matic at the heart of Solskjaer’s midfield as they look to retain the ball and orchestrate some meaningful opportunities in the attacking third.
The talented trio of Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes and Mason Greenwood will play just ahead of them as part of the away team’s attack. All three of them will be responsible for interchanging possession with each other so that they can cause a lot of headaches for the Leicester defenders this weekend.
Both Fred and Scott McTominay will be available for selection on the bench but might come on as the impact substitutes if Solskjaer decides to call upon their services.
Attack
Anthony Martial will once again get the nod to lead the charge for the Mancunian outfit down the middle. The Frenchman failed to score against West Ham but helped orchestrate Greenwood’s equaliser which will give him some confidence heading into the final match of this Premier League season.
Odion Ighalo will have to be content with a place on the bench as he awaits his opportunity to feature as a second-half substitute if needed.
