Manchester United will look to return to winning ways as they play their first match following Erik ten Hag’s departure, taking on Leicester City in the EFL Cup on Wednesday.

The Red Devils suffered a 2-1 loss to West Ham in their last Premier League game, with Jarrod Bowen’s contentious late penalty sealing the defeat.

Leicester, likewise, come into this match off a 3-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest, which ended their two-game winning run in the league.

Man United vs. Leicester lineups, team news

With Ten Hag no longer at the helm, Manchester United will look to start on a strong note under interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy. Jonny Evans could return to the side against his former club, but there remains no clear indication as to when left-backs Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia will finally be back.

Mason Mount is more likely to target Sunday’s league meeting with his old club for a potential return. Harry Maguire and Kobbie Mainoo are still sidelined, along with Leny Yoro and Antony.United fans will hope to see Amad Diallo given a chance in the first XI.

Man United predicted lineup (4-2-3-1, right to left): Onana (GK) — Dalot, De Ligt, Evans, Mazraoui — Ugarte, Eriksen — Garnacho, Fernandes, Diallo — Hojlund

Injured: Antony, Mainoo, Maguire, Malacia, Mount, Shaw, Yoro
Suspended: None

Leicester may consider mixing up their starting XI after a poor second-half performance against Forest.

Conor Coady, Boubakary Soumare and Jordan Ayew could come in, along with Morocco star Bilal El Khannouss, who was a sub last Friday.

Leicester City predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Hermansen (GK) — Pereira, Faes, Coady, Justin — Ndidi, Soumare — De Cordova-Reid, Ayew, Mavididi — Vardy

Injured: Vestergaard, Choudhury, Daka
Suspended: None

Man United vs. Leicester Prediction 

The two sides have clashed thrice in the EFL Cup previously, with Manchester United winning two games and Leicester winning one.

Despite the Red Devils enduring one of their worst starts to the campaign, playing under a new manager could give them the much-needed push to see off a struggling Leicester City and advance to the next round.
