Manchester United XI vs Leicester: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup, latest injuries for Premier League

Luke Shaw will be given the chance to prove his fitness ahead of Manchester United's crunch game with Leicester City.

United need to avoid defeat at Leicester to confirm a top-four finish for only the third time since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.

But they have shown signs of tiredness in recent games after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer named a largely unchanged XI in the Premier League since return from lockdown.

He is expected to do likewise at the King Power, but Shaw could come back in after missing the last three games with an ankle injury.

Solskjaer said: “When the last game of the season is in front of you you’d expect any players to have some bruises, aches, tiredness. That’s natural in every player.

“Even though this season has been different, it’s been a draining one for everyone, but we’ve got enough energy for 90 minutes I’m sure.

“Axel (Tuanzebe) and Phil (Jones) are out, but the others I’ll give enough time to prove their fitness.”
