Premier League 2018-19: How Manchester United should line up against Leicester City

Modified Feb 02, 2019 09:20 GMT

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his team have done a tremendous job since taking over from Jose Mourinho

Attack:

Jesse Lingard is making his name in the false 9 position for United at the moment

The attack is where Solskjaer has really caught most of the teams he has come across unawares. Before the Tottenham game, Jesse Lingard started out on the right of the front three but was encouraged to drift infield and allow Rashford and Martial drift to the wide positions.

In the game against Tottenham in Wembley, Lingard started out as the false nine as Ole Gunnar was now confident enough to line up his team in a more 4-4-2 diamond-like formation.

That formation worked really well, against Brighton and Arsenal he continued the same style of play and it the last match is when it really bore fruit as Arsenal couldn't deal with it. Against Leicester, Ole Gunnar will surely start the same system in this fixture.

Lingard will come back in the false nine position having been rested against Burnley and he will be splitting Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial who will be the forwards

The forward line will be Jesse Lingard; Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial

Here's how the team should lineup
