Pogba And Maguire To Start, McTominay And Rashford On The Bench: United’s Predicted XI To Face Leicester

Manchester United have to secure the three points against Leicester if they are to realistically stay in the hunt for a top-four finish.

Recent results under interim manager Ralf Rangnick have not been positive but their opponents tomorrow are without some key personnel so a home victory should be expected.

With regards to the starting lineup, David De Gea will start in goal, after inexplicably being snubbed by his country during the international break.


Luke Shaw and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are likely to replace Alex Telles and Diogo Dalot in the two fullback positions with Rangnick set to change things up after the defeat to Atletico a couple of weeks ago.

There is huge pressure to drop captain Harry Maguire but it would be a surprise if he is taken out of the eleven, so expect him to start alongside Raphael Varane in the middle of defence.

Paul Pogba could be recalled, making a midfield trio with Fred and Bruno Fernandes, meaning Scott McTominay may have to settle for bench duty.

Up front, Rangnick could persist with Anthony Elanga and Jadon Sancho on the wings, with Cristiano Ronaldo spearheading the attack.

Manchester United’s Predicted XI To Play Leicester:

De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Maguire, Shaw, Fred, Fernandes, Pogba, Elanga, Ronaldo, Sancho
