Ruben Amorim has opted to include new signings Patrick Dorgu and Ayden Heaven in his Manchester United squad to face Leicester City.

Manchester United continue their FA Cup journey in the fourth round as they welcome Leicester City to Old Trafford on Friday evening.

The match sees Ruud van Nistelrooy return to the Theatre of Dreams, having briefly managed United for four games following Erik ten Hag’s departure.

Rúben Amorim opted not to retain the club legend as part of his backroom staff, and Van Nistelrooy was soon appointed as Leicester City’s manager.

United’s previous FA Cup outing was a thrilling clash away to Arsenal, where they triumphed in a penalty shootout following a 1-1 draw in normal time.

Amorim’s side won five of their seven matches in January but are determined to bounce back after last weekend’s disappointing 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.

Heaven and Dorgu included in United squad

Amorim has introduced new signings Ayden Heaven and Patrick Dorgu into the squad, with both players arriving at Old Trafford ahead of the game.

After his heroics in the third-round against Arsenal, Altay Bayindir is unavailable for the clash due to a small injury, with youth goalkeeper Hubert Graczyk joining the squad.

Toby Collyer is also in the squad and will be eyeing another start after impressing in recent weeks.

Kobbie Mainoo could once again be used further forward in the front three, although it is unlikely that he plays up front, with either Rasmus Højlund or Joshua Zirkzee returning to the team.

A couple of players may have arrived at the stadium through an alternative entrance as only 19 players were spotted. Full team news will be available from 19:00 GMT.

The confirmed squad members for United’s FA Cup clash this evening can be read below.
