Comments and predictions for MU vs Leicester City: All-out attack

For the fourth and final time as Manchester United caretaker manager, Ruud van Nistelrooy will take to the Old Trafford pitch this Sunday afternoon, as the Red Devils host Leicester City in the Premier League.

The Dutchman guided Manchester United to a 2-0 win over PAOK in the Europa League last week, while Leicester City struggled to get a point in a 1-1 draw with Ipswich Town.

Latest MU vs Leicester City team information

Diallo's two goals in Man United's win over PAOK came at a slight cost, as the former Atalanta BC striker picked up a minor injury in the closing minutes and he is now a slight doubt for the Leicester game, which he might have hoped to start.

Diallo joins Luke Shaw (calf), Harry Maguire (calf), Kobbie Mainoo (thigh), Tyrell Malacia (knee) and Leny Yoro (foot) in the recovery process, with Yoro returning to training but given time to recover fully.

Marcus Rashford is likely to benefit from Diallo's injury, while Lisandro Martinez and Matthijs de Ligt could return to central defence in place of Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelof before Amorim deploys his 3-4-3 system.

Leicester, by contrast, came out of the draw with Ipswich with no fitness concerns, and there is a small chance that Patson Daka, who has a long-term ankle injury, could return for Sunday's game.

Hamza Choudhury is also in a similar situation, with Leicester opting not to have surgery to treat the midfielder's shoulder problem, so Jakub Stolarczyk (ankle) could be the only player missing from Leicester's squad this weekend.

Whether Ayew's last-minute intervention at Portman Road will be enough to see him return to the starting line-up remains to be seen - Abdul Fatawu and Stephy Mavididi are strong contenders - but Vardy will certainly feature up front as he aims to improve on his tally of six goals in his previous 18 appearances against United.

Latest expected lineup MU vs Leicester City

Manchester United:

Onana; Dalot, De Ligt, Martinez, Mazraoui; Casemiro, Ugarte; Rashford, Fernandes, Garnacho; Hojlund

Leicester City:

Hermansen; Justin, Faes, Okoli, Kristiansen; Soumare, Winks; Fatawu, Buonanotte, Ayew; Vardy

Latest football commentary MU vs Leicester City

Under the watchful eye of Ruben Amorim, who will start work at Carrington during the international break, Man United initially struggled to unlock PAOK's defence on Thursday night, before a moment of inspiration from Amad Diallo helped the Red Devils beat the Greek giants.

After a goalless 45 minutes at Old Trafford, the Ivorian's curling header found the far corner of the net, before he cut inside with his left foot and curled the ball into the far corner in a manner that would surely make Arjen Robben and Mohamed Salah proud.

Diallo's brace not only helped Van Nistelrooy extend his unbeaten run as caretaker manager to three games, but also guided United to their first Europa League win of the season in four attempts, but Premier League matters now take precedence over the Red Devils.

A stunning volley from Moises Caicedo forced Man United to settle for a point in a 1-1 draw with Chelsea last weekend, leaving the bottom half of the table in 13th place, although they are still technically closer to the top four than the relegation zone at the moment.

A poor run of just one win in six Premier League games suggests Amorim will not be able to turn United's fortunes around overnight, especially as the Red Devils have scored just nine goals in the top flight this season, their lowest tally since 1973-74.

As Leicester striker Jordan Ayew saw his goal-bound shot blocked by Ipswich's Cameron Burgess at Portman Road, it looked like it wasn't going to be Leicester's day as they fell behind late on to Leif Davis' stunning strike.

However, Ayew produced a moment of magic with his second shot, linking up with Jamie Vardy and coolly slotting the ball into the bottom corner to salvage a point for Steve Cooper's side, ending a run of two consecutive defeats in all competitions.

With promoted sides Ipswich and Southampton hovering below the relegation line, Leicester are firmly in 15th place, five points clear of the drop zone and just two behind Manchester United, the hosts this weekend.

So Leicester could overtake the Red Devils with a shock win at Old Trafford, where goals are likely to come at both ends of the pitch, as Leicester have scored and conceded in all five of their Premier League away games in 2024-25.

The same happened in the EFL Cup tie between Man United and Leicester at Old Trafford on 30 October, but five of those seven goals went to the Red Devils on Van Nistelrooy's debut, and not since January 1998 have the home side failed to score against Leicester in a Premier League game.
