Manchester United is set to host Leicester City at Old Trafford in an exciting Premier League match this Sunday. The game will feature Ruud van Nistelrooy’s debut as interim manager of United, following the departure of Erik ten Hag. Van Nistelrooy’s leadership comes after a series of disappointing results for United, with the team now sitting mid-table and looking to bounce back in front of their home crowd
In terms of team composition, Manchester United will likely field a 4-2-3-1 formation. André Onana is expected in goal, with a backline consisting of Diogo Dalot, Matthijs de Ligt, Lisandro Martinez, and Noussair Mazraoui. Midfielders Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte are set to provide defensive stability, while the creative force will come from Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho, and Marcus Rashford, supporting striker Rasmus Hojlund
Leicester City, managed by Steve Cooper, has managed a stable performance this season compared to other promoted teams. They sit 15th in the league, and a victory at Old Trafford would provide a significant boost in their fight against relegation. Jamie Vardy remains a critical figure for Leicester, providing goal-scoring threat and leadership. The Foxes will likely match United’s 4-2-3-1 structure, with Mads Hermansen in goal and key players in both defense and attack aiming to hold off United’s firepower
Fantasy players should keep an eye on United’s Garnacho, who has been a standout in recent games, and Leicester’s Vardy, who has consistently found the net. The match will be broadcast live on UK channels, with kickoff scheduled for 2 p.m.
