Sports Mole looks at how Manchester United could line up for Sunday's Premier League clash with Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.

Manchester United travel to the King Power Stadium at the weekend to take on Leicester City, looking for their fourth victory of the season against the Foxes.

The visitors come into the match on a high, having booked their place in the quarter-finals of the Europa League on Thursday evening with a comfortable 4-1 win over Real Sociedad.

Despite their success in Europe, they have had a frustrating year in the league and find themselves in 14th position with only 10 games remaining in the season.

With backup goalkeepers Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton both out with injuries, first-choice keeper Andre Onana is sure to start in goal for the visitors.

Defender Harry Maguire could be back in time to face his former side, having been out of action for the last three matches.

Maguire has already caused damage to his old club this season, as he netted a last-minute winner against the Foxes in the FA Cup tie between the two sides at Old Trafford last month – and should he be deemed fit enough to start this weekend, he will be hoping to repeat the feat.

If fit, Maguire would start ahead of Ayden Heaven in defence, with the former Arsenal youngster starting Thursday's game against Real Sociedad due to a number of injuries at the back.

As well as Maguire, Lenny Yoro (foot), Luke Shaw (calf) and Lisandro Martinez (knee) have been out of action recently, but none of that trio is expected to return to action this weekend.

In a boost for Ruben Amorim's side, Manuel Ugarte was fit enough to return to the bench for Thursday's win over Real Sociedad, and he is in line to make the squad once again this weekend.

Mason Mount has returned to training following a three-month absence, and he is also in contention to make the squad at the King Power Stadium.

At the back, Matthijs de Ligt and Victor Lindelof could start in central roles, while Diogo Dalot should play in a wing-back role on the left.

Patrick Dorgu is suspended for this clash following his red card against Ipswich Town last month, so Noussair Mazraoui could start on the right in the wing-back position.

Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes are regulars in the midfield for United, and they are very likely to start for Amorim's side.

Much like last weekend against Arsenal, Alejandro Garnacho and Christian Eriksen could start behind Joshua Zirkzee in attack, with Rasmus Hojlund dropping to the bench again after his start in the Europa League against Real Sociedad.

Manchester United possible starting lineup: Onana; Dalot, Maguire, Lindelof, de Ligt, Mazraoui; Casemiro, Fernandes, Garnacho, Eriksen; Zirkzee
