Manchester United are set to meet Leicester City again on Sunday at Old Trafford.

The Foxes seek revenge against United after their previous League cup match where United had thrashed them 5-2.

Ruud Van Nistelrooy looks to continue his team’s current momentum after sealing a 2-0 win in the Europa League fixture against PAOK this past Thursday evening.

With only three days to recover, the Dutchman can expect six players to miss the upcoming Leicester home fixture.

INJURY NEWS VS LEICESTER

Defenders

Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia both returned to training but neither are expected to be fit.

Noussair Mazraoui or Diogo Dalot will likely have to fill in for United at left back.

Centre backs Harry Maguire and Leny Yoro are expected to return possibly after the international break, since stepping up their recovery process.

Midfielders

United’s star boy Kobbie Mainoo is also among the boat of players returning after the international break.

Young talented midfielder Toby Collyer is expected to return sometime in December after suffering an injury earlier this month.

United’s No 7 Mason Mount has recently returned from a head injury and saw game time in the last 10 minutes against PAOK on Thursday.

Forwards

An in-form Amad Diallo scored a brace against PAOK, possibly earning himself a starting line-up position.

However, Diallo suffered an unfortunate muscle injury in the closing stage of Thursday’s fixture.

The Ivory Coast phenom is now a doubt for the Sunday afternoon clash.

‘Amad was assessed, and we are still working on him to get him ready for Sunday, so hopefully it will work,’ Van Nistelrooy explained during his pre-match press conference.
