Sunday, at 14:05, Manchester United goes to King Power Stadium after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer lost his first points on the “devils” bench. Even so, the draw of the last round, 2-2, has the taste of a victory: United was led 2-0 in the 87th minute!
From 11th place (goal 30-30), Leicester is an atypical team in the Premier League, who can not say he has complexities in front of the grandees. Coming after the draw with Liverpool (1-1), Claude Puel’s band will have another difficult mission on Sunday. “Vulpile” must very well have succeeded with their counter attack. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has many dangerous players standing on the field. Manchester United is on the 6th place (48-35 golaver), just two UCL points!
They are uncertain, with medical problems, Pogba and Martial, in very good shape since Mourinho’s change. Pogba has scored 6 goals in the last 6 games and it will be interesting to see how it can be replaced in case of major force. Rashford and Lukaku would be a solid presence in the adversary, especially as “devils” do not lack creativity. We were expecting many phases of the game, because Manchester United was again an offensive team with good rhythm in the opposing half.
Leicester has the ability to reject many attacks, but a passive attitude will be fatal to United. The ball will be more in the possession of the white-reds, but Leicester must be dangerous on the counter, where Vardy’s presence is often decisive. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has a series of 9 consecutive no-defeats on United’s bench, and last round on Old Trafford, the hosts returned from 0-2 in front of Burnley and rescued the draw, 2-2. It’s a good time in the Carrington locker, but Leicester has the quality to enroll. Even if he scrolled under Solskjaer’s command, United continued to receive goals with ease.
