manchester united face Leicester City at Old Trafford on matchday 11 of the first division as they look to win for the first time in three league games. It is also the last game in charge of the team for Ruud van Nistelrooy, whose interim position he will leave next week when Ruben Amorim arrives as Erik ten HagPermanent successor.
If United want to finish in the European places at the end of the season, it is time for them to start picking up points. On that note, here's how they could line up against the Foxes.
goalkeeper – André Onana will retain his place between the sticks. The Cameroonian kept a clean sheet for the first time in several games against PAOK in midweek european league phosphorus.
Defenders – Noussair Mazroaui and Diogo Dalot will start at right and left back, as they have done so far this season. Luke Shaw has returned to training but may have to wait a couple of weeks before having match action.
The two central defenders who started in midweek are expected to be replaced, as Lisandro Martínez and Matthijs de Ligt will return to Man Utd's back four.
Rashford benched in favor of Diallo
Midfielders – casemiro and Manuel Ugarte started last weekend against Chelsea and could once again form United's double pivot against Leicester City on Sunday afternoon.
The South Americans have developed good chemistry with each other and are showing flashes of the quality that forced the Red Devils to sign them.
Bruno Fernandes will be the number 10, while Alejandro Garnacho is expected to return to play on the left wing for Manchester United.
Amad Diallo could replace Mark Rashford on the right after his double in midweek added to the Englishman's continued poor form.
Forward – Rasmus Hojlund He will lead the line as the team's only hitman with Joshua Zirkzee on the bench.
This is what United could look like on paper:
