Team News: Michael Carrick returns for Manchester United

Michael Carrick comes into Manchester United's starting lineup for their Premier League match against Leicester City.

Michael Carrick has been named in Manchester United's starting lineup for their match against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.

The midfielder is one of four changes to the side that shared a goalless draw with PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League earlier this week, with Juan Mata and Ashley Young also recalled, while Patrick McNair comes in for Marcos Rojo at the back.

Meanwhile, Claudio Ranieri has made just one change to his Leicester side following their win over Newcastle last time out.

Shinji Okazaki is recalled up front, leaving Leonardo Ulloa to drop to the bench for the league leaders.

Leicester City: Schmeichel; Simpson, Huth, Morgan, Fuchs; Mahrez, Kante, Drinkwater, Albrighton; Okazaki, Vardy
Subs: De Laet, King, Schlipp, Ulloa, Dyer, Schwarzer, Inler

Manchester United: De Gea; Darmian, McNair, Smalling, Blind; Carrick, Schweinsteiger, Mata, Young; Rooney, Martial
