Man United vs Leicester City live updates, highlights25th min: GOAL FOR MAN UNITED! Marcus Rashford does it again! Leicester are hit by a sucker punch from the home side. Marcel Sabitzer intercepts the ball in midfield and Bruno Fernandes plays an outside-of-the-foot pass through the Leicester defence, where Harry Souttar steps up to try to play offside. Rashford has a clear run at goal and rifles the ball into the bottom-left corner — and he was clearly onside.
21st min: DAVID DE GEA AGAIN! United's defence is all over the place as Timothy Castagne gets in down the right once more. He picks out Kelechi Iheanacho at the far post, but De Gea claws the striker's header away as it looked destined for the bottom-left corner. United have got to liven up.
19th min: Tete flashes the ball across the box from the right but it flies out of play. Leicester have already had eight shots to United's three at Old Trafford.
15th min: After another spell of United possession, Leicester break quickly and Fred has to cut out a teasing cross from Tete. The home side do look open whenever Leicester are able to turn the ball over.
11th min: Another chance for Leicester as James Maddison slides a pass through to Kelechi Iheanacho, but his scuffed shot is blocked by Victor Lindelof. The Foxes are the more threatening side right now.
8th min: What a save, David de Gea! Fred gives the ball away in midfield and Harvey Barnes leads a break. After a one-two with Kelechi Iheanacho, he's through on goal, but De Gea sticks out a hand to keep out his attempt. Harry Souttar heads over from the resulting corner.

— NBC Sports Soccer (@NBCSportsSoccer) February 19, 20237th min: Leicester have settled now and Timothy Castagne should perhaps have done more with a cross from the right that was cut out by Marcel Sabitzer. The visitors are enjoying a good spell of possession.
5th min: United win a corner as Marcus Rashford's shot is blocked behind. Nampalys Mendy is able to clear.
1st min: The first thing to note is that United are setting up much as they did against Barcelona, with Marcus Rashford as the No.9, Wout Weghorst behind him, and Bruno Fernandes on the right. The Red Devils are started brightly, too.
KO: We're underway at Old Trafford!

30 mins before KO: This will be Bruno Fernandes' 150th start for Manchester United in all competitions. He's started more games than any player in Europe's top five leagues since his debut in February 2020.
150 - Bruno Fernandes is making his 150th start for Manchester United in all competitions. Since his club debut in February 2020, this is four more starts than any player for clubs in Europe's big-five leagues, and 11 more than any such outfielder. Duracell. pic.twitter.com/aGyk55NXyC
— OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) February 19, 20231 hour before KO: Erik ten Hag does indeed ring the changes. Diogo Dalot, Victor Lindelof and Lisandro Martinez all come into the defence after missing the Barcelona match, while Marcel Sabitzer returns having been banned for the Europa League game. There is also a start for Alejandro Garnacho. Scott McTominay is fit enough for the bench, but Antony and Anthony Martial remain out. Harry Maguire is sidelined with a knee injury.

— Manchester United (@ManUtd) February 19, 20231 hour 30 mins before KO: United have a huge week coming up, in which they will go toe-to-toe with Barcelona in a Europa League knockout playoff second leg just three days before the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle United. Erik ten Hag is likely to make the most of his squad for today's game, particularly with Casemiro serving the final match of his domestic suspension. His lineup will be interesting.
2 hours before KO: A win for Man United today, and they will be back to within three points of second-place Manchester City. They beat Leicester in the reverse fixture thanks to a solitary goal from Jadon Sancho, assisted by Marcus Rashford — the man who is arguably the league's most in-form player right now.
