Manchester United XI vs Leicester: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news and injury latest for Premier League
@Source: standard.co.uk
Mason Mount is in line to make his first Manchester United appearance in three months at Leicester.
Mount is fit again after injury and is set to be on the bench at the King Power Stadium.
Ruben Amorim has made it clear he is a big fan of Mount, who was starting to play well in his 3-4-3 system before his injury, and has confirmed the midfielder will play if he is fit.
“We will see, but we need every player and if he is fit, I am going to play him,” said Amorim. “He cannot play too many minutes, just five minutes of Mason Mount is perfect.
“I already said, I really love Mason Mount. I see him and I know how he suffers.
“He was European champion, he is a talent and he is a really talented player. So we will try to manage the load and you already saw some players who have a lot of problems during one time, in some moments, he can stay fit and I believe a lot in Mason Mount and we need players like Mason Mount.”
Manuel Ugarte is in contention to make a comeback after returning to the squad for Thursday's Europa League win against Real Sociedad after two games out injured.
Four starts in 11 days is probably too much to ask of Casemiro and Ugarte is likely to come back into midfield alongside Bruno Fernandes.
United have been assessing Harry Maguire, who has missed the last three matches and remains a fitness doubt for the Leicester game.
But Ayden Heaven deserves to keep his place in defence after his impressive display on Thursday.
Joshua Zirkzee and Alejandro Garnacho will surely start in the two No10 roles behind Rasmus Hojlund, who looked lively against Sociedad.
Patrick Dorgu serves the final game of a three-match ban, while Leny Yoro remains sidelined with a foot injury.
Predicted Man United XI: Onana; Heaven, De Ligt, Lindelof; Marazoui; Ugarte, Fernandes, Dalot; Garnacho, Zirkzee, Hojlund
Doubts: Maguire
Injured: Heaton, Bayindir, Martinez, Yoro, Evans, Mainoo, Amad
Suspended: Dorgu
Time and date: 7pm GMT on Sunday 16 March 2025
Venue: King Power Stadium, Leicester
