Manchester United v Leicester City Odds & Match Preview

Manchester United take to the field for the first time since the sacking of Erik ten Hag when they entertain Premier League rivals Leicester City at Old Trafford in the last sixteen of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday evening.

Marching orders

Manchester United will be aiming to make a swift return to winning ways on Wednesday evening, following a hugely disappointing 2-1 defeat at West Ham United which proved to be the final straw for the board. After two years in charge, Erik ten Hag was finally given his marching orders with his side having won just three of their opening nine Premier League games of the 2024/25 campaign. Indeed, this dismal start comes on the back of United’s worst ever finish in the Premier League when they ended the 2023/24 campaign in eighth position.

Summer arrivals

With just a single win from their last eight games across the Europa League and Premier League, Man United have failed miserably to showcase anything close to a clear identity despite a glut of new summer arrivals, leaving the club board with little alternative but to search for a new manager.

Last eight

Leicester City were unable to make it three wins on the bounce on Friday evening, the Foxes beating Bournemouth and Southampton earlier this month but going down to East Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest in their most recent outing. Nevertheless, Foxes gaffer Steve Cooper will be more than happy with six points from three matches, while he will be hopeful of steering his troops into the last eight of the Carabao Cup.

Changes

Leicester City will likely include a few changes for this match, despite the quality of the opposition, and this suggests that a home win may well be on the cards here. Interim United boss Ruud Van Nistelrooy will be keen to impress his employers as he looks to be appointed as permanent replacement for Ten Hag and as such, we’ll be siding with the hosts on Wednesday evening.

Back Manchester United to win and both teams to score at best odds of 15/8
