Martinez, Garnacho And Sabitzer To Start, Sancho And Fred Dropped: United’s Predicted XI To Face Leicester

After an impressive draw against Barcelona in the Europa League midweek, Manchester United’s focus will switch back to the Premier League on Sunday when they take on Leicester.

David De Gea will start in goal, but there could be a change in both fullback positions from the game at the Camp Nou, with Diogo Dalot replacing Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and Luke Shaw switching from centre-half and taking Tyrell Malacia’s position on the left.

After being suspended for the Barca match, Lisandro Martinez is likely to return to the starting lineup, with Raphael Varane partnering him in the centre of defence.


Marcel Sabitzer is also back available so the Austrian could replace Fred, with Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes making up the rest of the midfield three.

Up front, Jadon Sancho was pretty ineffective on Thursday night, so Alejandro Garnacho may come back into the team, with Marcus Rashford on the opposite wing and Wout Weghorst leading the line.

Manchester United’s Predicted XI To Play Leicester:

De Gea, Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Shaw, Fernandes, Casemiro, Sabitzer, Rashford, Weghorst, Garnacho
