Sanchez looks ready to inspire Manchester United against Leicester City
Manchester United were poor in the pre-season, but what specially came to the fore were the subdued performances in the final third. United created very few changes in the pre-season games, scoring only 5 goals in the 6 games they played, and in the last game against Bayern, could not muster a single shot on target.

While the fact that they were depleted on the attacking front during the preseason must be highlighted, there still is a lot more expected from Manchester United, even in pre-season.
United is yet to come back to full strength, and while not everyone will be back for this game, Lukaku and Martial should at least make the bench. The most notable positives from the preseason games were Mata's excellent partnership with Sanchez, and the Chilean's strong run of form.
Sanchez looks hungry and ready for the new season, scoring 2 goals and assisting another in pre-season, that should be a bonus for United. Manchester United will be hoping that their attack can find the pace and rhythm which can help them comfortably brush Leicester City aside.

Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
