Coach of Manchester United Ruben Amorim tosses the ball
Man United boss Ruben Amorim has a big call to make over Andre Onana's fitness before Sunday's game against Leicester City
Manchester United return to Premier League action on Sunday evening as they travel to Leicester City (7pm kick-off).
Ruben Amorim's side will have been buoyed by their midweek win over Real Sociedad at Old Trafford which saw them progress to the Europa League quarterfinals. The Reds' 4-1 win (5-2 on aggregate) has kept their season alive as they seek a return to the Champions League.
United will face Lyon in the last eight last month as they aim to win Europe's second-tier competition for the second time. But their focus this weekend will be on relegation strugglers Leicester, who are managed by former Reds striker and interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy.
And a couple of United players have hinted they will feature against the Foxes. Diogo Dalot and Casemiro are among the United players to have put pre-match graphics on their Instagram stories.
Historically, players who share the graphics have tended to be involved in the match. Amorim faces a big call over who to start in goal on Sunday, with Andre Onana facing a late fitness test.
Onana woke up feeling under the weather on Sunday morning, prompting United to prepare for the possibility of either academy goalkeepers Dermot Mee or Elyh Harrison stepping in if the Cameroon international is deemed unfit for the 7pm kick-off.
The late start time provides Onana with a window to recuperate and he still plans to make the journey to the King Power Stadium and put himself forward for selection. Despite his health scare, Onana remains hopeful that he will be in the starting line-up.
