Manchester United play host to Leicester City in the FA Cup fourth round when the two sides clash at Old Trafford this evening.
Ruben Amorim’s team are in need of a momentum boost following a 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace in the Premier League which leaves them languishing in the bottom half of the table. The Red Devils defeated Arsenal in a penalty shootout in the previous round of this competition and, coupled with some strong performances in Europe, the cups still offer a chance of silverware this year.
The game offers Leicester a breather from the Premier League relegation fight and a chance for a confidence-boosting result. The Foxes have lost to United twice already this season – in the Premier League and Carabao Cup – but their former interim boss, Ruud van Nistelrooy, would surely relish beating them at Old Trafford tonight.

'An awful debut'
An awful Manchester United debut for Patrick Dorgu, but a lot of the fault for that lies with Ruben Amorim for picking him out of position. It may have been fairer to move him to the left in the second half, rather than taking him off, but Dorgu is gone. It is also notable that Mazraoui and Leny Yoro have swapped so the Frenchman is now on the left of the back three.

Man Utd 0-1 Leicester
53 min: Garnacho gets on the ball and zips down the left wing before crossing. It’s cleared, and then Bruno’s shot is blocked. Better, and the United fans roar.

Man Utd 0-1 Leicester
50 min: Mazraoui concedes a foul throw after chucking the ball almost straight downwards. Shambolic stuff.

48 min: Bruno pinches the ball and feeds Amad on the right, but Thomas quickly shuts him down. El-Khannouss takes it up the other end and shoots, but it’s wide.

Man Utd 0-1 Leicester
46 min: We are back underway and United have made a change – Dorgu is replaced by Garnacho. A tough baptism for the new signing, who did OK, I thought.

Roy Keane: 'United are boring'
It’s safe to say Roy Keane was not impressed with that first-half performance.
Speaking on ITV, the former United captain said: “They’re boring now. You feel like going into the dressing room and reminding them what the game’s about – ‘there’s a goal at that end and you need to get the ball in it to score’. It’s as if they’re not even aware of it. Leicester haven’t been that great, they’ve done OK.
“United aren’t even getting the basics right. Sloppy, trying to beat people 25 yards from their own goal, people not staying with their runners.
“From United’s point of view, my godness, is this what it’s come to? We know their record’s poor, but we’re coming here tonight and looking at it going, ‘surely there’ll be a reaction, surely they’ll have enthusiasm and energy for the game’. They don’t even seem to have that.
“I bet Leicester can’t believe how easy it is.”
On new signing Patrick Dorgu, who is left footed but playing on the right side tonight: “He’s playing right wing-back. You think it’s unfair on certain players.“

GOAL! Man Utd 0-1 Leicester (De Cordova-Reid, 42 min)
Leicester strike! Ugarte is tackled by Soumare on United’s right touchline, and Leicester work it quickly to Ndidi on the edge of the box. His shot is saved by Onana but Bobby De Cordova-Reid is in the perfect place to nod the rebound home from a couple of yards.
