On Thursday, Amad Diallo showcased his skills by scoring two goals for Manchester United against PAOK. Unfortunately, he was forced to leave the game early due to an injury. This Sunday, interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy will lead the team for the last time against Leicester City before the permanent manager takes over.
In van Nistelrooy's first game as interim boss, United dominated with a 5-2 win over Leicester City in the Carabao Cup last week. After a draw against Chelsea and a European victory against PAOK, the Dutchman is hoping to end his tenure on a high note.
Amad Diallo proved his worth with an outstanding performance against the Greek champions, earning him a strong case for a starting role. He played on the right side of the attack, while Alejandro Garnacho held down the left and Marcus Rashford came in as a substitute in the second half. Despite being forced off the field with a foot injury, Amad returned barefoot after the final whistle, and van Nistelrooy is optimistic that he will be fit for Sunday's match.
On Thursday, Mason Mount made a comeback as a substitute in the second half after recovering from his injury. However, United still has a number of players who are unavailable for the game. Kobbie Mainoo has not returned to full training, and Harry Maguire remains sidelined, both of whom were left out of the latest England squad this week.
Although Luke Shaw returned to first-team training after three months, he is not yet fit enough to play on Sunday. Tyrell Malacia is also on the road to recovery and will likely play for the Under-21 team before returning to the first team. The good news is that Leny Yoro is making progress and could potentially be in the lineup for Rubem Amorim's first game in charge against Ipswich Town on November 24th.
So, how will Manchester United line up against Leicester City this weekend? Van Nistelrooy will most likely field a strong team, with only Matthijs de Ligt given the night off. The predicted starting lineup includes Onana, Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot, Ugarte, Casemiro, Fernandes, Rashford, and Hojlund.
For those wondering where to watch the match, it kicks off at 2pm on Sunday and will unfortunately not be broadcasted live in the UK.
