Man Utd fans snap up Ronaldo shirts at Old Trafford
The weekend is very nearly here. And that means Manchester United fans can look forward to watching their side in action against Leicester in Saturday’s Premier League showdown. Express Sport will now take a look at the XI we’re expecting to start the contest at the King Power Stadium.
At the end of last season, it appeared David De Gea was on the wane.
The Spain international struggled in their Europa League final defeat to Villarreal, missing his penalty in the shootout and failing to save a single attempt.
But, since coming back to United after the European Championships, De Gea hasn’t put a foot wrong.
The 30-year-old stood out in matches with Wolves and Southampton, while his last-minute penalty save from Mark Noble ensured his side beat West Ham 2-1.
As a result, De Gea should get the nod between the sticks for the match against Brendan Rodgers’ team.

United have been hit by an injury crisis at the back.
The match against Leicester is likely to come too soon for Harry Maguire, who has been sidelined since the 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa at the end of September.
And with Raphael Varane out for a ‘few weeks’, that gives Eric Bailly and Victor Lindelof a chance.
The duo are both expected to start the match, where they have a chance to prove Jose Mourinho wrong after the Roma boss rarely played them together.
And Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Luke Shaw should make up the rest of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s back line.
