#2 United coping with James Maddison

Leicester City v Valencia - Pre-Season Friendly
Maddison has all the attributes to make Leicester City tick this season

James Maddison was signed from Norwich City in the summer, following a spectacular season in the Championship. Claude Puel prefers a 4-2-3-1 system for Leicester, and the youngster is the heart of the system.

He shoulders all the creative responsibilities of his team, and if the pre-season performances are anything to go by, United will have to be wary of the 21 year old. He is technically strong and clever with his movements and can thread beautiful passes to the wings and forward line.

He is quite efficient on the ball, and the United midfield will have to pay special attention to him, stopping him from dictating the tie.

In the absence of Herrera, McTominay might be asked to do a job on Maddison, but he will require assistance from Fred and Pereira. For United to overcome Leicester City, this youngster will have to be kept quiet, but that will not be an easy task.
