Manchester United have announced the starting XI that will be taking on Leicester City this afternoon in a huge Premier League clash at Old Trafford.
With Newcastle United and Manchester City both dropping points over the weekend, Erik Ten Hag and his side have a fantastic chance to widen the gap between third and fourth in the top-flight as well as cut their lead with Pep Guardiola’s side down to just three points.
Today won’t be an easy fixture for United, though, with Leicester heading to Manchester off the back of an impressive 4-1 win against Tottenham, with Brendan Rodgers desperate to get a run going for his 14th-place King Power Stadium side.
Here is the starting XI Ten Hag has gone with ahead of today’s massive league clash…

Substitutes: Heaton, Malacia, Varane, Wan-Bissaka, Mainoo, McTominay, Pellistri, Sancho, Iqbal, Elanga
With United playing midweek against FC Barcelona in the UEFA Europa League, Ten Hag has made a few changes to his starting XI ahead of kick-off today against Leicester, with the big news being that Alejandro Garnacho, Victor Lindelof starting.
