Manchester United will entertain Leicester City at Old Trafford this Saturday evening as they hope to secure a victory in front of their home fans. The Red Devils suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Atletico Madrid which knocked them out of the UEFA Champions League before the international break. Hence, they will be eager to respond in a positive fashion versus the Foxes this weekend.
Ralf Rangnick could set his team up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and will one change to his starting XI for this game. Paul Pogba could get the nod to start in midfield while Fred has to settle for a place on the bench.
4-2-3-1 Manchester United Predicted Lineup To Face Leicester City
Defence
David de Gea will feature in goal for the Red Devils after conceding one goal in his last appearance. Harry Maguire will function along with Raphael Varane in central defence as they hoped to keep things tidy on the defensive end of the field.
Diogo Dalot will try to give a good account of himself as the right-back while Alex Telles looks to catch the eye as the left-back. Both of them will be given the freedom to express themselves in the Leicester half so that they can offer enough support to the front players.
Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly will have to settle for a place on the bench as they offer cover for the defensive positions.

Midfield
Scott McTominay and Paul Pogba will anchor the midfield for Man United as they focus on dominating the game at the centre of the park.
Anthony Elanga could get a chance to impress as the left-sided wide player while Jadon Sancho hopes to produce a good display from the right.
Bruno Fernandes will operate in the number ten position and might have to carry most of the creative workload for his team in the final third.
Fred, Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard will be named on the bench as they wait for their chance to shine in the second half if required.
Attack
Cristiano Ronaldo will lead the line for the Red Devils up top. The Portuguese superstar needs to find a way to cause a few problems for the Leicester defenders during the 90 minutes.
Edinson Cavani is recovering from a calf injury and might not be risked in this game at home.
