Fixture: Manchester United vs Leicester City
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 12:30 (UK time)
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has named his starting eleven and substitutes for his side’s Premier League clash against Leicester City at Old Trafford later this afternoon.
After a run of poor performances, Wayne Rooney has been dropped down to the bench, and Mourinho has gone with an attack of Zlatan Ibrahimovic at the top with Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard helping the Swede out from either flank.
Daley Blind has been drafted in at left-back, and Paul Pogba and Ander Herrera along with Juan Mata will form the midfield for Manchester United against the Foxes today. Other than Rooney, Mourinho has the options of Marouane Fellaini, Michael Carrick and Ashley Young from the bench. Youngster Timothy Fosu-Mensah and Marcos Rojo are his defensive options in the substitutes' list.
With two Premier League defeats in a row, Manchester United will be looking to get back to winning ways with all three points against the Premier League champions at home.
