Manchester United XI vs Leicester: Amad Diallo and Anthony Elanga start - lineup and team news

Manchester United are without Harry Maguire in their starting lineup for the first time since he joined as they face the captain's former club Leicester City tonight.

Maguire had played in every league minute in 71 games prior to United's 3-1 win at Aston Villa, but was forced off with an ankle injury in the 78th minute.

Eric Bailly came on at Villa Park and deputises with Axel Tuanzebe in central defence, while Mason Greenwood was replaced on the hour mark and starts again.

Given the extremely tight turnaround between games - just 52 hours - Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has named a heavily rotated XI featuring young forwards Amad Diallo and Anthony Elanga.

Alex Telles, Brandon Williams, Juan Mata, Donny van de Beek and Nemanja Matic all come in for some minutes with Liverpool to come on Thursday, with David De Gea in goal.
