How will Man Utd line up vs Leicester City? Pogba, Martial, Shaw OUT as injury crisis hits United

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer faces an injury crisis this weekend as Manchester United take on Leicester City without a host of first-team starters.

Paul Pogba, Anthony Martial, Luke Shaw are all definitely out of Saturday’s game at Old Trafford, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Jesse Lingard face late fitness tests to be involved.

With Diogo Dalot and Eric Bailly also out, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is severely depleted in a key game against one of United’s rivals for the top four.

Should Wan-Bissaka miss out, that could see Marcos Rojo playing at left-back with Ashley Young on the right.

Of the players who are available, Solskjaer must decide how to shape an attack that has struggled for balance this season.

Daniel James has been the pick of United’s attack when on the left, and will likely start there again with Marcus Rashford leading the line in the absence of Martial.

Man Utd predicted lineup

(4-2-3-1): De Gea; Young, Lindelof, Maguire, Rojo; McTominay, Matic; Greenwood, Pereira, James; Rashford
