Our predicted MUFC XI vs Leicester City is now in.
Manchester United return with a bang this weekend, as our Red Devils host Leicester City in a game that has the potential to be supremely entertaining.
After well over a fortnight off, the players should be feeling refreshed both physically and mentally. Hopefully, they’re ready for a fight. We’re certainly in one if we want to qualify for next season’s Champions League…
Going against Leicester City is never easy. They’re a side that loves to play on the front foot and we should expect to see something similar to play out on this occasion. Expect goals galore, so our forwards will have to bring their A-game. Anyway, let’s get right into the all-important team news.
Check out our predicted MUFC XI vs Leicester City in full here:
David de Gea will obviously keep his place in goal as he looks to finish out the season strongly and really deny Dean Henderson any chance at taking the number one jersey.
Diogo Dalot has definitely usurped Aaron Wan-Bissaka in that right-back position, though Luke Shaw has probably done enough to keep his left-back jersey for at least the time being. Harry Maguire will start and captain United, alongside Raphael Varane.
Scott McTominay will start at the midfield’s base. He’ll be tasked with doing the dirty work and mopping up. Paul Pogba starts here, though I’d be against it due to his recent comments made to the media. Bruno Fernandes will play as per usual. He’ll be feeling confident after his two-goal haul for Portugal.
Cristiano Ronaldo will lead the line as he’s the only option with Edinson Cavani being out injured. On the right, Jadon Sancho will play as he’s not been away on international duty, while Anthony Elanga deserves to start on the left.
