Manchester United finally showed overviews of what they could be under Ruben Amorim with a sparkling screen to see Real Sociedad in the Europa League last night.
United swept the Liga Club with Bruno Fernandes marking a hat-trick, including two penalties, in a 4-1 victory which completed a global triumph 5-2.
The challenge is now to regularly reproduce this level of performance, from Sunday in Leicester, second-end.
United is 14th in the Premier League and Amorim is determined to improve this before the end of the season.
He said, “Everything is important. And we have to continue with this feeling that we can win games and then matches after the matches. No matter the rest or time to prepare the next game, we can do it.
“We must be humble and forget the table and face Leicester as if we have faced the Real Sociedad. We just need to win to improve our position in the table and the most important thing is to continue with this feeling of victory and that we are improving as a team. »»
United will come up against a familiar face this weekend to the boss of Leicester Ruud Van Nistelrooy.
The Dutchman was one of the Erik Ten Hag coaches staff, then led the team as an temporary basis until Morim took over.
He did not find things easy to Leicester and they made a record of six high -flying games at home without point or goal.
This inevitably led to concern among supporters and Van Nistelrooy is desperate to give them something to delight.
“The recent match against Chelsea and the change of structure were positive,” he said. “This is something on which we want to build and develop and do better in a home game.
“I felt that the outside support was incredible, which helped us a lot. As a manager and as a team, we realize that there are sections that sometimes go against the team when things are difficult, but there is certainly a big section among our own fans who support us and I want to emphasize that they are there.
“With our performance, you see what is the reaction of the crowd. This is the key to bring this on the field on Sunday and get the crowd behind us. »»
Team news for Leicester City against Manchester United
Leicester has a quasi-black team to choose with only the unavailable Abdul Fatawu winger.
The lateral rear Ricardo Pereira made a late cameo in Chelsea last week, his first appearance for four months, but may have to settle for a place on the bench with Van Nistelrooy who should stick to his training 5-2-1-2.
United should have manuel Ugar again and he could replace Casemiro.
Mason Mount will start on the bench and Amorim hopes that Harry Maguire could also be in good shape to be named in the team. Patrick Dorgu serves the second match for a national ban on three games.
