Manchester United interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy has named his starting line-up for today’s Premier League clash against Leicester City at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils picked up their first win of the Europa League campaign in midweek. They secured a 2-0 triumph over PAOK after two well-taken goals from Amad Diallo.
United will now be aiming to return to winning ways in the Premier League. Ahead of today’s encounter, Van Nistelrooy has made three changes to the starting line-up.
Andre Onana keeps his place in goal as usual, but there are two changes to the backline with Lisandro Martinez and Matthijs de Ligt coming in for Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelof in central defence.
Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui continue in the full-back positions for the Red Devils.
In midfield, Manuel Ugarte keeps his place despite an underwhelming display in midweek. The Uruguayan lost possession on nine occasions while winning just two out of eight duels contested.
Ugarte will partner Casemiro in the centre of the park with club captain Bruno Fernandes occupying the number 10 position. The Portuguese has shown glimpses of returning to form.
Alejandro Garnacho has been dropped on the back of underwhelming displays against PAOK and Chelsea.
Marcus Rashford will start on the left wing ahead of the Argentine. Diallo gets the nod on the right wing after a superb second half showing against PAOK on Thursday.
Rasmus Hojlund continues to lead the United attack despite managing just four passes in 89 minutes. He needs a significant improvement on his recent performance.
United can reduce the gap to the top four to just four points with a win if other results go their way.
Confirmed Man Utd line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Leicester City: Onana; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot; Ugarte, Casemiro; Diallo, Fernandes, Rashford; Hojlund.
