Manchester United vs Leicester City Team Previews, Form and Standout Players

Ruud Van Nistelrooy takes charge of Manchester United for the final time against Leicester City before the arrival of Ruben Amorim. A win will be crucial for both teams as United look to turn around their season and Leicester look to go further away from the relegation zones. But who will win?

Manchester United Preview

Manchester United Predicted Lineup - Andre Onana; Noussair Mazraoui, Lisandro Martinez, Matthijs De Ligt, Diogo Dalot; Casemiro, Christian Eriksen; Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes, Amad Diallo; Rasmus Hojlund

Manchester United sit 13th in the league after a very disappointing start to the season. They have only managed twelve points in ten games leading to the sacking of Erik Ten Hag.

Interestingly they have a good defensive record. They have only conceded twelve goals keeping four clean sheets. This while scoring nine at the same time. They have scored the third least goals in the division. They will be desperate to change that form.

Can Ruud Van Nistelrooy pull off a victory in his final game before Amorim’s arrival?

Leicester City Preview

Leicester City Predicted Lineup - Mads Hermansen; Victor Kristiansen, Jannik Vestergaard, Wout Faes, Ricardo Domingos Barbosa Pereira; Harry Winks, Wilfred Ndidi; Stephy Mavididi, Facundo Buonanotte, Abdul Fatawu; Jamie Vardy

Leicester City sit 15th in the table on ten points after ten games. Although they have improved slightly they certainly still face struggles in the league.

They have conceded 18 goals. This is the 15th most goals conceded in the division. Something they will be disappointed with. However they have scored 14. Whereas this isn’t the most goals scored in the league it is only Brentford who have scored more than them in the bottom nine of the league.

Jamie Vardy in particular has a good record against Man United in terms of scoring. He has six goals in 18 games against the Red Devils. Will he add another goal to his tally in this match?
