Manchester United-Leicester, the probable formations

At Old Trafford at 9 p.m., the challenge between Manchester United and Leicester, the FA Cup round of 16, goes on stage. The Red Devils are trying to turn around the disastrous season they have had so far by trying to defend the trophy they won last year. The Foxes, who are experiencing a critical moment in the Premier League (they are third-last with three knockouts in a row) will try to regain morale in the cup.

Manchester United will have to give up Martinez in defense due to injury. Amorim relies on Hojlund as center forward with Dorgu, Fernandes and Diallo in support. Ugarte and Mainoo form the midfield dike. In defense, Maguire with De Ligt.

Van Nistelrooy relies on Vardy to lead the attack with Ayew, El Khannouss and Mavididi in the three-quarter. Winks and Soumaré will screen the defense. Coulibaly and Kristiansen will act as full-backs.

Probable lineups

Manchester United (4-2-3-1): Bayindir; Mazraoui, de Ligt, Maguire, Dalot; Ugarte, Mainoo; Dorgu, Fernandes, Diallo; Hojlund. All: Amorim.

Leicester (4-2-3-1): Hermansen; Coulibaly, Faes, Vestergaard, Kristiansen; Winks, Soumaré Ayew, El Khannouss, Mavididi; Vardy. All: Van Nistelrooy
