Louis van Gaal continues to change things up as injuries deprive him of a full-strength XI.

The Dutchman was without Ander Herrera and Phil Jones for Manchester United's trip to Leicester and they join a lengthy injury list which already included the likes of long term absentees Luke Shaw and Antonio Valencia. David de Gea unsurprisingly continues in goal behind a back four of Matteo Darmian, Paddy McNair, Chris Smalling and Daley Blind who are tasked with preventing Jamie Vardy from scoring in his 11th consecutive Premier League game. https://twitter.com/ManUtd/status/670640887379181568 Michael Carrick returns to the set-up and he partners Bastian Schweinsteiger in the centre of the park with Ashley Young and Juan Mata on the right and left of midfield respectively. Wayne Rooney plays off front man Anthony Martial who hasn't scored in his last six Premier League appearances. Memphis Depay and Morgan Schneiderlin drop to the bench where they will be sat alongside youngsters Marcus Rashford and Cameron Borthwick-Jackson. https://twitter.com/ManUtd/status/670640991720882177 Leicester line up as follows. https://twitter.com/LCFC/status/670640874636865537
