Manchester United will look to build on an impressive Thursday night in Europe as they ran out 4-1 winners over Real Sociedad at Old Trafford. Ruud van Nistelrooy’s relegation-threatened Leicester City are the opponents at the King Power Stadium in a 7pm kick-off this Sunday evening. Here is the Manchester United predicted lineup for the clash.
Manchester United Predicted Lineup vs Leicester City
How Manchester United Have Lined-up Recently
Ruben Amorim has persisted with his 3-4-2-1 formation despite patchy results, with under-fire goalkeeper André Onana between the sticks.
Matthijs de Ligt has been ever-present in the back three of late, accompanied by two of Noussair Mazraoui, Lény Yoro, Victor Lindelof and January signing Ayden Heaven.

In-form Casemiro and Captain Bruno Fernandes have been staples in midfield, with two of Mazraoui, Diogo Dalot and the impressive Patrick Dorgu at wing-back. Two of Alejandro Garnacho, Christian Eriksen and the increasingly assured Joshua Zirkzee have featured in attacking midfield, with Rasmus Hojlund an increasingly influential yet still non-scoring presence at number 9.
Manchester United Recent Form and Tactics
With just one defeat in the past six games in all competitions, things have been looking up for the Red Devils in terms of results, with only the penalty shootout loss to Fulham in the FA Cup fifth round a blot on the recent copybook. With winter signings Heaven and Dorgu impressing in Amorim’s system and players such as Zirkzee, Fernandes and De Ligt in fine form, shoots of cohesion and promise can be identified in this side that has endured a torrid season to date.
Manchester United Injuries to Consider
Lisandro Martinez is out until next season, whilst Amad Diallo, Luke Shaw and Kobbie Mainoo all hope to return to action before the end of this campaign. Lény Yoro is out until the start of next month, with Altay Bayindir and Jonny Evans return dates unclear. Mason Mount and Harry Maguire are in contention for the bench on Sunday, with Dorgu still suspended in Premier League competition.
