Manchester United line up vs Leicester includes Eric Bailly and Daniel James – Manchester Evening News

Manchester United have named Eric Bailly in their starting XI to face Leicester in the Premier League.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer makes just one change from the side that dismantled Leeds United at Old Trafford with the Ivorian coming in for the injured Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

Axel Tuanzebe played at right-back during the mid-week Carabao Cup win against Everton but drops to the bench. Bailly impressed at Goodison Park and could be fielded on the right of a back three with Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire.

Scott McTominay netted a brace against Leeds before suffering a groin injury late on that saw him miss the game against Everton. The Scotland international returns alongside Fred and Bruno Fernandes with Paul Pogba named on the substitutes.

Daniel James retains his place in the team after ending his barren streak in front of goal in the Premier League in the win against Marcelo Bielsa’s side.

Edinson Cavani is back on the bench after his heroics against Everton in midweek.

Manchester United team to face Leicester: De Gea; Lindelof, Bailly, Maguire, Shaw; McTominay, Fred, Fernandes; James, Martial, Rashford.

Subs: Henderson, Telles, Tuanzebe, Lingard, Matic, Pogba, Van de Beek, Cavani, Greenwood.
