10 Manchester United take on Leicester City in the Premier League and Ruud van Nistelrooy has named his starting line-up for his final game as interim boss.
United won 2-0 against PAOK at Old Trafford in the Europa League on Thursday night, with Amad Diallo scoring both goals to warrant a place in the starting line-up to face the Foxes.
Amad retains his starting role on the right, which means Alejandro Garnacho has been dropped to the bench.
United are looking for a repeat of last week’s win over Leicester in the Carabao Cup, but our opponents have fielded a stronger team this afternoon.
It’s a chance to get more points on the board but United are guaranteed to enter the November internationals in the bottom half of the table. Ruben Amorim begins work as head coach tomorrow and needs to quickly address United’s awful league position.
Amorim can take inspiration from the fact his Sporting CP side are unbeaten this season and sit at the top of the Primeira Liga.
Manchester United line-up vs Leicester City

The back four consists of Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt, Lisandro Martinez and Diogo Dalot.
The central pairing in midfield remains the same. Van Nistelrooy has stuck with Manuel Ugarte and Casemiro since he stood in as interim boss and the South American duo have another chance to add to their collection of improved displays.
Marcus Rashford starts on the left flank and it will be up to Amad Diallo to cause danger on the opposite side.
Up front, Bruno Fernandes will play in a deeper free roam role behind Rasmus Hojlund.
Manchester United XI vs Leicester City: Onana; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot; Amad, Casemiro, Ugarte, Rashford; Fernandes (c), Hojlund.
Substitutes: Bayindir, Heaton, Evans, Lindelof, Eriksen, Mount, Antony, Garnacho, Zirkzee.
