Erik ten Hag is in search of continued good form against Brendan Rodgers' Foxes.
Sergino Dest was a target, [but that is now unlikely](https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/sergino-dest-transfer-usmnt-defender-set-to-move-to-serie-a-champions-ac-milan-from-barcelona/) with Aaron Wan Bissaka set to stay. Leicester: Three straight losses and Wesley Fofana leaving for Chelsea has made for a deflating start to the season. Both teams to score with United winning by a goal would not be a surprise. Pick: A narrow United win makes sense here. Another loss would have alarm bells well and truly ringing in Leicestershire while a third consecutive victory would continue United's recovery. Rodgers has a job on to avoid being the next manager under pressure after Scott Parker's dismissal and an ability to reinvest much of the Fofana fee will not help.
Manchester United vs. Leicester City prediction, odds, and pick as Deadline Day rumors swirl about Cristiano Ronaldo.
It truly does feel like things have gotten stale at Leicester City, and their play reflects that notion, but there’s still more than enough attacking talent on this side to give United issues. Leicester’s statistical portfolio isn’t anything to write home about either, as only newly-promoted Bournemouth and Nottingham boast a more dire expected goal differential than Leicester’s through four matches. Although the Red Devils looked rejuvenated in their impressive win over Liverpool 10 days ago, they were pretty lucky to follow that performance up with a 1-0 win at Southampton. Speaking of clubs in crisis, Leicester City are off to a dismal start in 2022-23 and rumors have been circulating that manager Brendan Rodgers is on shaky footing at the King Power Stadium. AZ, CO, IA, IL, IN, LA, MI, NJ, NY, PA, TN, VA, WV, WY only. Don’t look now, but the crisis at Manchester United is seemingly over.

KING POWER STADIUM, LEICESTER — Although transfer deadline day is dominating the headlines, there is some football to be played tonight, too, as Leicester ...
20 mins to KO: The Red Devils are searching for a first win in six over Leicester. United strike as Rashford plays a nice short ball behind Leicester's last man and into the path of Sancho, who gets beyond Danny Ward and slots in coolly. 30th min: United are quite happy to keep possession now, with the scoreline giving Christian Eriksen a chance to start purring from his deep midfield position. Fernandes then plays in his compatriot for a third chance, but Ronaldo goes too wide and there are no teammates to meet his ball across the box. Ronaldo is of course up top, with Rashford moving to the left. HALF-TIME: Boos from a smattering of home fans as the players head down the tunnel. Moments later, the Brazilian made an interception in a dangerous area and then immediately played a great cross-field ball to Fernandes on the right flank. But that in itself will satisfy the Dutchman, who rode the rockiest of waves to start his United career, and has now enjoyed a memorable win over Liverpool to stem the tide and some plain sailing with back-to-back away victories. Ronaldo was surprisingly strong from the bench, too, crafting several opportunities to extend the lead, and being lively across the frontline. The Red Devils held on to end a run of five games against Leicester without a win, and ensure spirits are high ahead of Sunday’s huge home clash with league leaders Arsenal. United took their foot off the gas and controlled proceedings with comfort, as Leicester struggled to make any inroads. The former Borussia Dortmund star had began the game well, interchanging with Bruno Fernandes and each of United’s attacks seeming to flow through him.
Jadon Sancho scored the game's lone goal as Manchester United beat Leicester City 1-0 on Thursday at the King Power Stadium for their third win in a row.
[James Maddison](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/194450/James-Maddison) went close for Leicester with a superb free kick which brought an excellent save from United's David De Gea, but the home side struggled to create chances.

It was a difficult first season at Man United for Raphael Varane but he looks much improved under Erik ten Hag. Alongside Lisandro Martinez he has an aggressive ...
A long ball goes into Fernandes, then he passes it to Rashford, who slides Sancho in 1 vs 1 with Ward and he goes round the keeper to score. The Red Devils could use his experience too to prevent Leicester getting back into the game. Therefore, Varane can hold his position and use his experience and talent to read the game. There was a worryingly lack of intensity in the first half and despite getting a bit better in the second they were still poor. Rodgers spoke ahead of the game to BT Sport and admitted that the lack of transfer activity has been down to a lack of budget to spend due to financial constraints. There are signs the Leicester squad are affected by the lack of new players.
Manchester United has completed the transfer of Antony from Ajax. He has signed a contract until 2027, with the option of an additional year.

Leicester City host Manchester United at the King Power Stadium, with the two teams going into the match under different types of pressure.
With the arrivals of Casemiro from Real Madrid and Antony from Ajax, United will now be aiming to win consecutive Premier League away games for the first time since last September. In particular, United will be hoping Marcus Rashford can kick on against a happy stomping ground at the King Power Stadium. On paper, Casemiro will bring some much-needed quality in front of the United defence. The Foxes are without a win their opening four games and head into tonight’s fixture rooted at the bottom of the Premier League table. The Brazil international is excited to get started, saying “This is an incredible moment in my career to be joining one of the most iconic clubs in the world." •2h ago Leicester City's forward has yet to find the back of the net this season, having scored at least 15 goals in each of the last five Premier League seasons. In case you missed it, Manchester United have confirmed the signing of Newcastle United goalkeeper Martin Dubravka on an initial loan deal. Today marks the first time since 2015 that Leicester City began the day sitting at the bottom of the table. [bringing in Wout Faes from Reims to replace Wesley Fofana](https://theathletic.com/live-blogs/transfer-deadline-news-live/uIaufjyfJ58Q/). The kick-off time for the match is at 8pm BST (12pm PT or 3pm ET). [Victor Lindelof](https://theathletic.com/football/player/victor-lindelof-KTCFlS2lUObXRtJa/) returned to training this week.
Jadon Sancho's first-half goal gave Manchester United a 1-0 win that left Leicester bottom of the Premier League and booed off at the end.
Barnes did draw gasps after a curling effort out of nothing from 20 yards flashed over David de Gea’s upright but they came closest to equalising in the second half when James Maddison forced De Gea into a fine save from a free-kick. Leicester failed to make the ball stick and United feasted on their opponents’ dishevelment. “I know where the statement came from and I know it wasn’t Wesley Fofana,” he said. The galling thing for Rodgers was that it stemmed from Danny Ward booming a clearance upfield. More often than not programme notes amount to nothing more than empty platitudes but the Leicester chairman, Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, used his to address some of the questions that have surrounded the club throughout a trying and destabilising summer in which Wout Faes, a £15m arrival from Reims, represented their only outfield signing. The performance was largely as gutsy as it was pretty but Jadon Sancho’s superbly taken first-half strike was enough to secure United successive away wins for the first time since last September.
Great play between Diogo Dalot, Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford resulted in the ball being threaded through to Sancho and the England international rounded ...
Maddison's curling 25-yard free-kick was tipped away by De Gea to prevent it from nestling in the top corner. Despite a relatively even opening 10 minutes, it was United who quickly put our stamp on the game. Our forward line continued to pick up great positions between the lines and Rashford played in Sancho once again but his effort was well blocked by James Justin, while Harvey Barnes whipped a shot just over the bar. A couple of touches between Dalot, Fernandes and Rashford were all that was required for Sancho to find himself in space and slot home with complete composure, for his second goal of the season. It was a confident and self-assured first-half from the Reds, but Leicester quickly grew into the game, rousing their home fans. David De Gea saved well from James Maddison's free-kick after the break, but United had the better opportunities to double our lead and were comfortable in closing out the win, which takes us up to fifth in the top-flight table.
Manchester United collected a third straight win in the Premier League with a first-half Jadon Sancho goal giving them a 1-0 win over Leicester City at the ...
With Wesley (Fofana) going we needed a replacement for him. "We needed two centre-halves ideally. We were low in terms of depth and quality. "There were enquiries for Barnes and Maddison early in the window. Once we have Cristiano Ronaldo and Casemiro getting fitter it will get better still - we need not only a team we need a squad," Ten Hag added. We had 11 players the on pitch who fought for each other and scored a lovely team goal.

But Casemiro is yet to start a game, with 40 minutes of combined substitute action. We have two team sessions and we will see for Sunday." "We have to see," Ten Hag said. If he starts on the bench, United fans will be confident of catching a glimpse of their new star at some stage during the match.

That was the last chance of the match, and, to be perfectly honest, pretty much the only chance we had all night. Iheanacho came on for Tielemans with a quarter of the match to play, but if Leicester couldn’t get the ball to one striker, they were going to struggle to get it to two. We take on Brighton and Hove Albion on Sunday at the Amex. I have no opinion as to whether or not he’ll walk or get the sack, or whether or not he should stay. The individual performances weren’t terrible (Evans was quite good, in fact), but the team as a whole were poor. The referee blew for a foul against Vardy and, being Vardy, he reacted appropriately and got a yellow for his efforts. Depressingly, the Foxes looked very much like they were expecting that second goal. The saving grace was that United were almost as dire as we were, so they seldom looked like extending their lead. City looked tentative, giving the ball away cheaply, out of shape defensively, and no two players on the same page. The England man rounded Ward and tapped the ball into the empty net. The first twenty minutes were contentious in tone but utterly devoid of quality.

Erik ten Hag's plan for major surgery in such a short time at Manchester United is both ambitious and flawed with Antony's arrival signalling the audacious ...
(It’s also worth remembering that he lost a child five months ago, and has every excuse to be distracted.) And yet the arrival of Antony is perhaps the clearest signal yet that Ten Hag is intending to build a team without him: quick, mobile, unpredictable and with multiple threats from multiple angles. This in itself is a quietly revolutionary development: junking the club’s star signing from a year ago after a season in which he scored 18 league goals. The expectation is that Antony, a left-footer, will slot in on the right, a long-standing problem position for United. This was a process that even Alex Ferguson took years rather than months to implement, seeking out not just winning talents but winning characters, players who would fight for each other, players who could play to a plan. He dribbles at speed, cuts inside for the cross or shot, presses with energy and “grinta”: an Italian term that Ten Hag loves to use for players with grit, guts, the will to fight and win at all costs. It is a trick that Pep Guardiola has often sought to deploy, and it serves a dual purpose. Having tried and failed to leave the club, Ronaldo has found himself on the bench ever since the Brentford game. All the red flags are present and correct, given what we know about United, and particularly United in the transfer market, and particularly United in the transfer market in the final week of the window after a bad start to the season. The sense of urgency and panic. The mechanics of Antony’s transfer are emblematic of United’s many dysfunctions. It brings Manchester United’s spending this window to about £200m plus potential add‑ons, and together with the signings of Tyrell Malacia and Lisandro Martínez means United are responsible for about 48% of the Eredivisie’s entire summer transfer income. It’s the 13th most expensive transfer of all time, slotting in between Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid.
Hear from the boss as he chats about team news, the transfer window and the trip to Old Trafford.
That is the only reason why we are here, and we have to continue to do that. We have obviously tried to get everything done that we can, and sometimes you have to get the right balance. Yesterday it was a real possibility and we tried, but then we kept the decision to say that it has to be the right player for the team and for the club. I think we have learned a lot from that and there's still the players that we have to get out. We have gone through things like that when we hadn’t won at Stamford Bridge for 20 or something years, but you need to believe that you will do that. We have to go into the market and the other teams and coaches are going to tell you how good you are, what your value is and what you’ve done. The attitude of the player is there and he’s really disappointed to be out again as you can imagine, and the team needs him when he’s back. He called me really late last night and it was more of a conversation that we used to have when we were teammates and really good friends. There is nothing else we can do, we have an academy as well that we have to use, and we’ll try to utilise the players in the best possible way. Then we had to react in the market and we tried, but at the end of the day we have to bring in the player that we feel is right for the team and for the club and we didn’t manage to do that. I think that there have been moments when the history and the media were talking about it, and the special rivalry between certain players built a certain momentum into it. No, we had a lot of things still to do in the squad, you see the amount of departures, compared to the number we have recruited.

Wolves v Southampton (15:00) Tottenham v Fulham (15:00) Here is the full schedule... Last weekend also marked the 11-year anniversary of our historic 8-2 victory in the fixture. United triumphed 3-2 in a memorable game against Arsenal when this fixture was last played at Old Trafford, back in December 2021. Arsenal's tone-setting 2-0 win over Crystal Palace on the opening day was followed by 4-2 and 3-0 victories over Leicester and Bournemouth, respectively. Despite losing our opening game 2-1 to Brighton, followed by a heavy 4-0 defeat on the road to Brentford, the Reds bounced back against Merseyside rivals Liverpool. The Swede was part of our matchday squad in the Midlands and could be again on Sunday. Victor Lindelof returned to training before the Leicester game, but did not feature at the King Power Stadium. United fans are eagerly awaiting the debut of new signing Antony, whose arrival was announced on Thursday’s transfer deadline day. Pre-match coverage will start at 15:25 BST on Sunday and will be followed by live radio commentary during the 90 minutes. Jadon Sancho scored the only goal in Thursday evening's clash with Leicester as we registered a second successive clean sheet on the road.

United have kept just one clean sheet in their last 16 Premier League meetings with us, a goalless draw at the Emirates Stadium in January 2021. United are one of just three sides Gabriel Jesus has faced in the Premier League but not scored against, along with Cardiff City and Brentford. We will pick the right XI to start but as you see, it’s not only a team, we have a squad and also, [against Leicester], the subs who came on did really well so I’m happy with that. They are a big rival, we know that and we are going to compete with them." A 2-0 win against Liverpool in their last Old Trafford outing helped heal some wounds, before beating Southampton and Leicester City with 1-0 scorelines. Tyrell Malacia and Lisandro Martinez were recruited from the Eredivise while Christian Eriksen arrived on a free transfer, with big names such as Paul Pogba, Juan Mata, Nemanja Matic, Edinson Cavani and Jesse Lingard all being released.
