What is the team news?<\/h2>\n

Paul Pogba, Romelu Lukaku and Jesse Lingard have missed the majority of pre-season but will likely slot straight back into the United side.<\/p>\n

New signings Fred and Diego Dalot will be hopeful of making an impression, whilst Mourinho failed to land his central defensive targets in the transfer window.<\/p>\n

Leicester have kept hold of England hero Harry Maguire, whilst James Maddison could make his first start after a big-money move from Norwich.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
