With the return of the mid-week games in the premier league, many fans are no doubt excited as they get to watch their favorite teams twice in the space of a few days. However, for Manchester United fans, it’s more like a tripled excitement as the team will not only be playing but Casemiro could get his first start and Antony could make his debut....CONTINUE READING THE FULL ARTICLE>>>
The 22-year-old Brazilian was signed for a record fee for an Eredivisie player and could make his debut against Leicester City if he is registered in time. On the other hand, Casemiro made his debut in the victory against Southampton but he came on as a substitute.
Man United’s Possible Lineup Against Southampton
The last time Manchester United defeated Leicester City in the premier league was back in 2020 when they won 2-0 at the King Power stadium. Also, the foxes defeated and drew against the Red Devils last season when they met.
Goalkeeper: DAVID DE GEA
After a disastrous start to the season, David De Gea got his first clean sheet of the season and he is likely to retain his spot for the clash at the King Power stadium.
Defense: DIEGO DALOT, RAPHAEL VARANE, LISANDRO MARTINEZ, AND TYRELL MALACIA
The back four of Dalot, Varane, Martinez, and Malacia have no doubt established themselves as Ten Hag’s favorite due to their impressive performances. It is unlikely that Maguire, Shaw, or even wan bissaka will displace them anytime soon.
Midfield: CASEMIRO, CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN, AND BRUNO FERNANDES
It’s no doubt the dream of many fans to see Casemiro partnered alongside Eriksen and Fernandes. And this is likely to happen after Casemiro’s debut during their last game.
Attack: MARCUS RASHFORD, JADON SANCHO, AND ANTONY MATHEUS
Elanga has been partnered with Rashford and Sancho for their last two games but the presence of Antony ( if registered on time) could see him displaced. While Sancho and Antony could occupy the wings, Rashford might continue upfront, creating a very versatile front three.
