Manchester United fans devastated over injury blow vs Leicester

Manchester United fans are gutted that Luke Shaw hasn't won his race for fitness in order to face Leicester at the King Power Stadium today.

Both sides are aiming to finish in the top four of the Premier League and United can secure their place in next season's Champions League by avoiding defeat.

United are the only unbeaten side since the June restart but have won just one of their last four matches in all competitions. Nevertheless, United haven't tasted defeat against Leicester in their last ten top-flight meetings.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has opted for the starting line up which performed so well since the restart with the exception of Brandon Williams.

Shaw picked up a problem during the draw against Southampton 13 days ago but Solskjaer hinted he was in contention to feature against the Foxes. However, he was not included in the match day squad and Williams takes his place in the starting XI.

United fans are pleased with Solskjaer's selection but believe the loss of Shaw will be felt.

United XI: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Williams; Matic, Pogba; Greenwood, Fernandes, Rashford; Martial.

Subs: Romero, Bailly, Fosu-Mensah, Mata, Fred, McTominay, James, Ighalo, Lingard.
