Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Solskjaer names side for final-day encounter

Sunday 26 July 2020 15:00

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has picked his final team of the 2019/20 Premier League season.

A campaign that began 11 months ago ends at Leicester City's King Power Stadium, with a place in the top four, and next term's Champions League, at stake.

United need at least a point to finish above the Foxes but defeat would leave the Reds relying on Wolverhampton Wanderers to spring a major surprise at Chelsea's Stamford Bridge by beating the Blues.

The boss has elected to go with a tried and tested formula by reintroducing Aaron Wan-Bissaka into the side, in place of Tim Fosu-Mensah. On the opposite flank, Brandon Williams continues to deputise for injured left-back Luke Shaw.

Eric Bailly is back from his head injury and takes his place among the substitutes.

Leicester welcome Marc Albrighton into the XI after injury and, while their formation is not yet certain, he could end up at wing-back if James Justin reverts to a central defensive role to retain the five-at-the-back system.

Jonny Evans starts alongside skipper Wes Morgan with another former Red, Matty James, on the bench. Ex-Manchester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho gets the nod to hunt the goals with leading Premier League marksman Jamie Vardy.

If the Reds can extend our 13-match unbeaten run in the league, it will be enough to earn a spot in the 2020/21 Champions League.
