Manchester United predicted line-up to face Leicester City (Premier League)

We could expect some changes at the King Power Stadium.

Manchester United travel to the King Power Stadium to face Leicester City on Thursday and we could see some changes to Erik ten Hag's line-up.

It was an important three points last time out against Southampton as Bruno Fernandes' goal proved the difference, but United now enter a frantic schedule in September.

With Thursday-Sunday games in a three week period, the Dutch manager could look to make adjustments to the United team that won back-to-back games for the first time since February.

One change that seems inevitable against Brendan Rodgers' side is the introduction of Casemiro to the starting team.

He made his debut for the club from the bench last time out and could replace Scott McTominay in the line-up.

Christian Eriksen has also started every Premier League game so far and could use a rest. Fred could be used alongside his national teammate in the pivot.

United's front line is another concern, with Ten Hag confirming that Anthony Martial is still out of action. It's likely that they remain the same, with new signing Antony not ready to play until Sunday at least.

Cristiano Ronaldo still has major doubts in regards to his future at the club despite Ten Hag publicly saying otherwise. He will likely remain on the bench as United continue with Anthony Elanga playing alongside Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho.

Moving back to the defence, and it seems hard to break the solid connection that the side are making, but one change could be spared buy the manager.

Tyrell Malacia, who has impressed since joining the club, could sit this game out to be fresh for the clash against an unbeaten Arsenal side on the weekend. Luke Shaw would make a return to the line-up after being dropped following the 4-0 defeat to Brentford.
