Manchester United fans react as Harry Maguire starts vs Leicester City

Manchester United are back in action this afternoon as they hope to bounce back after a number of disappointing results.

But after anticipating that they'll have to do so without both of their first-choice centre backs, United have been boosted by the surprise return of skipper Harry Maguire.

Maguire was thought to miss out today after being away from the team the last few weeks after picking up an injury.

However, as revealed by the MEN, Maguire will start today, with Raphael Varane still out for a number of weeks.

Elsewhere, Nemanja Matic will partner Paul Pogba in midfield with Scott McTominay dropped to the bench and Fred unavailable due to late international duty.

And fans have reacted across social media after seeing today's line-up.

Ole Gunnar Solskajer's side travel to Leicester City out of form, and United haven't won any of the last three meetings between these sides and their performance in the FA Cup clash at the King Power Stadium last year was arguably one of their worst of the entire season.

However, Leicester have had a difficult few weeks themselves - failing to win since August.
