Leicester v Man Utd Premier League clash previewed
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer knows a win or draw against Leicester will see the Red Devils back in the Champions League for next season. But, while the club haven’t lost in the Premier League since January, things aren’t all rosy for the club. Express Sport will now take a look at four problems United are having to contend with ahead of the match against the Foxes at the King Power Stadium.
For the most part this season United’s defence has excelled, helping the club push for a spot in the Premier League top four.
But, in recent weeks, standards have dropped.
David De Gea has made a series of errors throughout the course of the campaign and, in particular, in matches against Tottenham and Chelsea since the restart.
Harry Maguire has also looked a shadow of his old self, enduring horror shows against Spurs, Chelsea and Southampton.
And Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Victor Lindelof have both looked fatigue. Both De Gea and the club’s defenders will have to be at their best to stop Leicester from running riot.

When United beat Aston Villa 3-0 at Villa Park earlier in the month, United looked like they were back to their best.
But, in the matches they’ve played since then, they’ve looked leggy.
The Red Devils were outran by Southampton in their 2-2 draw, Chelsea looked superior in all departments in their FA Cup clash and, against West Ham, the Hammers looked up for the fight more than Solskjaer’s side.
Solskjaer has been guilty of not getting his team selection right in recent matches.
But he’ll have to go with the players he thinks are up to the task of facing Leicester - rather than picking them by default.
