The officials have been confirmed for Manchester United’s away clash against Leicester City on Thursday, 1 September in the Premier League at the King Power Stadium.
On Thursday night, Manchester United will take on Leicester City at the King Power Stadium in an attempt to win their third straight Premier League game.
The Foxes, who are now in last place in the rankings, are still looking for their first win in the Premier League in the 2022/23 season.

Erik ten Hag must have been worried that his team would suffer a third straight Premier League loss before their match-up with Liverpool.
The atmosphere around the Old Trafford club has improved in just two games, as United followed up a 2-1 victory over bitter foes Liverpool with a 1-0 triumph at Southampton.
The most recent victory occurred in very distinct settings and conditions than the match with Liverpool, but Ten Hag will draw encouragement from that as he works to make United into a squad that doesn't appear sluggish and uninterested in competing against the bottom teams in the league.

With a stunning finish at St. Mary's, Bruno Fernandes responded to critics of his performances, scoring for the first time since 2 May.
Ten Hag won't let his team's four goals in two games overstate their accomplishments, but they have passed the first part of their assessment of mettle with high honours.
The spirits will be high as United have confirmed the signing of Antony from Ajax who could be unveiled this Thursday.
The confirmed match officials have been announced for Match week 5. The men in charge at the King Power can be seen below.
