Tomorrow’s early kick off is at 02:30pm - Ugandan time, Leicester will be visitors at Old Trafford as Manu fight to restore their Premier League winning form.


Manchester United last won a Premier League game on 27th August when the beat Hull City 1-0 and since then, they have fallen short of winning tactics to Manchester City who beat them at Old Trafford and lost to Watford again in their following Premier League game.


They welcome Leicester who are last season’s champions but, have also proved to be resilient this season winning their first Champions League appearance away to club Brugge in Belgium last week. This will be the second meeting between these two this season having already played the Community Shield at the beginning of the season at Wembley stadium.


Jesse Lingard displayed superb skill to score the first goal in that game, Vardy was on the score sheet in the same game with an equalizer early in the second half before Manchester’s new signing Ibrahimović scored the winner on his debut.


That game ended 2-1 and Ranieri’s men will want to come at Old Trafford and prove a point but, Mourinho also will die to prove his worth as a new manager in charge of the Red Devils.

Having spent the highest in bringing players like Pogba who are to impress, Manchester’s advantage is that they will be expecting Micheal Carrick back who at least, will improve their passing accuracy in the midfield.

For Leicester all their key players are available and ready to destroy Man United given a chance, Danny Drinkwater’s mental strength in the midfield will be key if the King Power boys are to get something out of this game, Vardy, Mahrez and Okazaki cannot be ruled out in such a game but, my interest will be on their 23 year old new signing Nigerian Ahmed Musa.


He is a highly paced strong player who I think will have a stable position in Premier League and such players always want to shine against big teams and tomorrow could be the day.

Mourinho for me is still struggling and I am not comfortable giving him a win tomorrow. A draw is possible for him but, I won’t be surprised if he loses to the King Power boys.
