Hurricane Injury whack, How Manchester United Formation When Fighting Leicester

Manchester United could not play some of the names of the main players during the presence of Leicester City. Premier League connection match will be held at Old Trafford on Saturday (09/14/2019) tonight hrs.

Playing in front of his own supporters, there are no other options available to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's troops not only to reach three points. Especially in the three matches at first they still failed to reach full points.

After a 1-1 draw against Wolverhampton, the Red Devils surprisingly humiliated Crystal Palace with a score of 1-2 in front of their own supporters before going back to a 1-1 draw against Southampton. Seeing that note, victory is a natural target of the Red Devils.

But Manchester United's efforts to win full points for the match broadcast by TVRI will not be easy. Because, Leicester was in a positive trend at the beginning of this season and Manchester United was hit by a hurricane injury.

Coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be dizzy to form the best formation to fight Leicester City. There are six players who are currently under the supervision of the club's medical team, namely Paul Pogba, Anthony Martial, Luke Shaw, Diogo Dalot, Eric Bailly, and Jesse Lingard.

Even the list was able to grow because Aaron Wan-Bissaka initially included an injury while defending the England national team. But reportedly, the right-back has trained and entered in the squad prepared by Solskjaer for the match later.

"The medical room is busy. So we don't really understand who will be ready," Solskjaer said.

"Leicester remains a formidable opponent, as a team, a club that is aiming for the top four, they have good players, good coaches who have proven to be top. Brendan Rodgers' team continues to play football and we have to play well to reach three points." he said.

The following squad prepared by Manchester United to fight Leicester: David de Gea, Sergio Romero, Lee Grant, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Axel Tuanzebe, Phil Jones, Ashley Young, Scott McTominay, Nemanja Matic, Andreas Pereira, Fred Fred , Juan Mata, Angel Gomes, Tahith Chong, Mason Greenwood, Marcus Rashford, Daniel James.

With so many players injured, questions have arisen about the formation and starting XI like what will be prepared by Solskjaer for the match later.

Without Pogba and Lingard which has been Solskjaer's top choice. Fred's name was echoed to be a problem solution in Manchester United midfield. Fred was able to duet with Simon McTominay as an anchor, while Juan Mata was able to replace Jesse Lingard as playmaker. While Mason Greenwood and Daniel James were able to play wide to help Marcus Rashford who was plotted as a central attacker.

For the four defenders, with Luke Shaw's injury Ashley Young will be Solskjaer's first choice accompanied by Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka who are reportedly ready to play after being injured.

The loss of Pogba will trigger Manchester United to lose a player who has the capability to set the attack and is skilled at defending. But without Pogba, Solskjaer is able to be creative to find solutions in midfield.

There is the name of Andreas Pereira who can be relied upon as one of the three midfielders who can be played by Solskjaer. The Brazilian midfielder is capable of playing with McTominay and including Fred. If Solskjaer wants his team's depth to be maintained, Nemanja Matic's name can be counted on.

As for solutions in terms of creativity, the name Juan Mata can be relied upon. If Solskjaer plays a 4-3-3 formation, then Mata is capable of combing the right side and functioning of the left foot to connect the area and send breakthrough passes to the opponent's defense.

The figure of Nemanja Matic in Manchester United's first four games in the Premier League has still not won the trust. But along with Pogba's injury, the former Chelsea midfielder was able to achieve blessings.

If Solskjaer tracks a player who is able to maintain more depth and is able to anticipate Leicester's rapid counterattack, then Matic can be an option. The Serbian midfielder is able to duet with McTominay at the defensive midfielder's post, and play Mata as player number 10.
