It's been an uplifting week for Manchester United. The unveiling of the plans for a 'new Old Trafford' was followed by Thursday's demolition of Real Sociedad. Now it's up to Ruben Amorim's side to ensure a positive week ends on a positive note.

United travel to the King Power Stadium tomorrow to face relegation strugglers Leicester City. The Foxes have been beaten three times by United already this season, exiting the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup at the hands of United alongside their 3-0 defeat in the league back in November.

Andre Onana will start in goal and Ayden Heaven's fine performance on Thursday means he deserves to keep his place in the backline. Matthijs de Ligt should start in the centre of the back three with Victor Lindelof alongside him.

Noussair Mazraoui performed well in the back three against Sociedad but he will need to play in a wing-back role with Patrick Dorgu serving the final game of his three-match suspension. Mazraoui should start at right wing-back with Diogo Dalot moving over to the left.

Casemiro was one of United's best performers on Thursday but four starts in 11 days might be too much to ask of the 33-year-old. Manuel Ugarte can come back in alongside Bruno Fernandes.

Joshua Zirkzee and Alejandro Garnacho are easy picks in the two No.10 roles. Chido Obi will be available for selection again after being ineligible for the Sociedad tie but Rasmus Hojlund deserves a second chance after looking lively in the 4-1 Europa League win.

United predicted XI: Onana; Lindelof, De Ligt, Heaven; Mazraoui, Ugarte, Fernandes, Dalot; Garnacho, Zirkzee; Hojlund
