4-3-3: Manchester United predicted XI v Leicester: Harry Maguire starts

Manchester United return to Premier League action against Leicester City tomorrow afternoon at Old Trafford.

United drew their last league home game, going 2-0 down to bitter rivals Leeds United before pulling the match back to 2-2 in the second half.

Casemiro is still suspended for this game, although Lisandro Martinez and Marcel Sabitzer are available after missing the midweek draw with Barcelona.

Christian Eriksen and Donny van de Beek remain out, while we do not know for sure whether Antony, Scott McTominay or Anthony Martial will return here.

Manchester United predicted XI to face Leicester

David de Gea will continue in goal, and we expect Aaron Wan-Bissaka to keep his place at right-back, although there is a chance Diogo Dalot comes in.

We think Harry Maguire could come back into the backline, to give Raphael Varane a rest amid fixture congestion, with Lisandro Martinez back alongside him.

We’ve got Luke Shaw moving back across to left-back after playing at the heart of defence against Barcelona.

United’s central midfield options are quite straightforward, with Casemiro still banned, Marcel Sabitzer will come back in for this one.

He will play alongside Fred and Bruno Fernandes in a 4-3-3 formation, with the Portuguese playmaker moving back inside after playing from the right hand side in midweek.

Wout Weghorst played as a number ten on Thursday, but we would expect him to return to a more conventional number nine position for this one.

That would see Marcus Rashford go back out to the left hand side, with Jadon Sancho on the right, which has been a bit of a problem position for Ten Hag in games where Antony has not been fit to play.

Another option may be to start Alejandro Garnacho, but he tends to be better as an impact substitute, with Antony Elanga and Facundo Pellistri also in reserve.
