Manchester United suffered a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace in the Premier League. However, they now have the opportunity to bounce back as they face Leicester City in the 4th round of the FA Cup. The Red Devils will be determined to advance in the competition and put their recent setback behind them.
Despite their underwhelming form, Manchester United possess the necessary resources to secure a positive result against their FA Cup opponents. This fixture will also set the momentum for Ruben Amorim’s men as they prepare for their upcoming Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur.
Predicted Manchester United Lineup vs. Leicester City (4-2-3-1)
Defence
Altay Bayindir is expected to return as the goalkeeper, replacing Andre Onana. The central defensive trio of Harry Maguire, Leny Yoro, and Matthijs de Ligt is set to continue, with the latter likely to feature in place of the injured Lisandro Martinez.
Ruben Amorim may hand a debut to Patrick Dorgu, who could replace Noussair Mazraoui as the wing-back alongside the reliable Diogo Dalot.
Midfield
Manuel Ugarte is an automatic selection in the midfield, while Bruno Fernandes is likely to be deployed in a deeper role. This strategy is expected to continue for the upcoming fixture.
Attack
Kobbie Mainoo is not anticipated to feature as the center-forward but will instead play as an attacking midfielder alongside the influential Amad Diallo, who has the potential to make a significant impact in this match.
Joshua Zirkzee is expected to lead the line as the striker, leaving no room for Alejandro Garnacho in the starting XI.
Injury concerns for Manchester United include Lisandro Martinez (knee), Luke Shaw (unspecified, doubtful), Mason Mount (thigh), and Jonny Evans (muscle).
