Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim confirms his starting XI for Friday night's FA Cup fourth-round contest with Leicester City at Old Trafford.

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has confirmed his starting XI for Friday night's FA Cup fourth-round contest with Leicester City at Old Trafford, and there is a debut for new signing Patrick Dorgu.

The Denmark international made the move to Man United from Lecce in the latter stages of the January transfer window, and he is brought straight into the XI as the left-sided wing-back tonight.

There is also a spot on the bench for fellow new signing Ayden Heaven, who arrived from Arsenal.

Lisandro Martinez is facing a long spell out with a serious knee injury, and the Argentina international's absence means that there is a start in the back three for Noussair Mazraoui.

Rasmus Hojlund is back to lead the line, with Kobbie Mainoo operating as one of the number 10s; Alejandro Garnacho, though, is only on the bench for the 20-time English champions at Old Trafford.

Altay Bayindir's absence has also opened the door for Polish goalkeeper Hubert Graczyk to feature on the bench.

As for Leicester, Patson Daka is introduced to lead the line for the Foxes, while there is a spot in the middle of the midfield for Wilfred Ndidi, who was absent against Everton last time out through injury.

As expected, head coach Ruud van Nistelrooy has selected a strong side, but there is also a change at the back from the defeat to Everton, with Caleb Okoli featuring in the middle of the defence.

Manchester United: Onana; Yoro, Maguire, Mazraoui; Dalot, Fernandes, Ugarte, Dorgu; Amad, Hojlund, Mainoo
Subs: Graczyk, De Ligt, Heaven, Lindelof, Casemiro, Collyer, Eriksen, Garnacho, Zirkzee

Leicester City: Hermansen; Justin, Okoli, Faes, Thomas; Soumare, Ndidi; El Khannouss, De Cordova-Reid, Ayew; Daka
Subs: Stolarczyk, Coulibaly, Coady, Winks, Skipp, Buonanotte, McAteer, Monga, Mavididi
