    Leicester have been rubbish this season. Good time to play on the front foot and hopefully dominate them

    It would be a good time to play on the front foot and dominate Leicester but with Eric and Lindelof at the back Ole will go Scott and Matic in front of them and the football will be tumescent at best.

    Can any Leicester fans explain why Under wasn't given a chance? Work ethic? Physicality?

    Looked the only decent Turkish player at the euros and off to a good start in France.

    He looked unfit and didn’t offer enough defensively. He never really pulled up any trees when he played really.

    Yes he did have a decent game actually. But I’m not sure if we will see the same Fred at Old Trafford.

    He's had quite a few for Brazil. We won't in the same way we don't see the same Pogs. Neither play in the same position for Utd.

    Make you right and Leicester's midfield is much more mobile than those two, they'll run straight through us.....

    Am I the only one bothered by the fact that I cant watch it? This should be a televised match for sure.

    It doesn’t bother me one bit that you can’t watch it.
     
    I’m hoping to stay up for this here in Australia. It’s televised live at 1am. A victory would make for a good Sunday morning.
     
    Trying to predict our starting XI really makes you appreciate the level of squad depth we currently have.
     
    Sneaky suspicion Maguire starts this.
    Hes training on the grass, and with CL Varane out I think he’ll be back in action this afternoon. Chuckle brothers reunite!

    Hope Marcus starts on the left too, I want to see his link up with Ronny. Jadon on the right for me, though Ole will rightly stick with Mason.
     
    Can't believe they flew the squad from Manchester to Leicester.

    Yeah totally agree on this.

    Same time though it would be foolish to rush Maguire back.
     
    Hearing rumours that Rashford is in the mix for a start today. Surely not given the lad's been out 3 months?

    A spot on the bench, maybe, but starting him is just asking for trouble.
     
    I’m thinking a shift to a back 3.

    DDG
    Bailly. Lindlof. Shaw
    AwB. Dalot
    Matic. Pogba
    Greenwood. Sancho.
    Ronaldo

    Hopefully, we will stick to a back 4especially as I think LCFC play the way that might suit Lindlof and Bailly.

    I’m thinking 2-2 today
     
    This will be very dull without Fred in midfield. Can't wait for zombie football and them to press the shit out of us limiting us to have 1 shot on target and score a single individual effort goal to make it 1-1 in a wonderful game full of 2 half chances on both sides.

    There's the optimism and mood I want for my Saturday!

    Just skip the game if you don’t want to watch it and if it makes you so miserable bud

    Rather than the alternative of Fred making stupid half ass passes that turn over to the other team or shots that go into the stratosphere? Or him fumbling over his own feet to lose procession that turns into a chance or worse, a goal for the other team? Fred is not good. Him being Brazilian doesn’t automatically make him world class. See Andreas Pereira.

    It would be dull with Fred.
    United are not a good team. The football is crap. Its always crap.

    I can’t see it just because of the 2 games coming up in the next week . Liverpool is the priority to be playing , if lindleof and Bailly can’t deal with a 34 year old Vardy it doesn’t say much for them .

    You don’t watch much football do you ?
     
    Seeing as we flew to Leicester today, I wonder if we can blame our inevitable slow start to the game on jet lag?

    Thank you! I’m here all week! Try the veal, folks!
     
    Just thought I’d have a quick peek in here to see if anyone had posted any early team news and already it’s dark as feck in here.

    What an utterly joyless place this is, like walking through Luton town centre.

    Maybe he meant dull as in fewer absurdly under/overhit passes and comical pratfalls in midfield leading to opposition goals? Like a circus would be dull without the clowns acting clownishly?
