Man Utd team news: Expected 4-4-2 vs RB Leipzig - Solskjaer to make four changes
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be looking to secure the point his side needs in their Champions League showdown with RB Leipzig on Tuesday night (8pm).
Man Utd: Solskjaer explains second-half improvement
Manchester United tackle RB Leipzig knowing a point will see them through to the Champions League knockout stages. It won’t be easy, however, with Julian Nagelsmann’s side currently bang in form. Express Sport will now take a look at how we expect the Red Devils to line up for the big match in Germany on Tuesday night, with a diamond formation potentially used.
Dean Henderson did nothing wrong against West Ham on Saturday night, even playing a big role in Paul Pogba’s excellent leveller at the London Stadium.
But, given the magnitude of this match, expect to see David De Gea back between the sticks.
Question marks were being asked of the Spain international at the start of the campaign but he’s silenced his critics with some solid showings of late.
De Gea has the big-game experience United need and it seems unlikely Solskjaer will leave him out.
And that means Henderson having to make do with a place on the bench.

Midfield: Nemanja Matic, Paul Pogba, Scott McTominay, Bruno Fernandes
Solskjaer has trialled a diamond formation at times - and this could be another night where he uses it.
With Fred injured, Nemanja Matic could be in line to start. The Serbia international has been absent of late - but this feels a match he’s tailored for.
Paul Pogba has returned to form and could be deployed on the left of the midfield.
Solskjaer likes Scott McTominay for the big matches- so we think the Scotland international will get selected as well.
And there’s zero chance of Bruno Fernandes being on the bench for the second match in a row. Zilch.
