Manchester United hand out three squad debuts for Leicester FA Cup clash

Manchester United have handed out three squad debuts for their clash with Leicester in the FA Cup fourth round. United hope to bounce back from their dire home defeat to Crystal Palace last weekend and are set to make changes to their squad on Friday night.

Ruben Amorim is certain to be without the injured Lisandro Martinez after the Argentine suffered a serious knee injury last time out. The 27-year-old is expected to be out for the remainder of the season, though United are yet to communicate any official timeframe on his setback.

There are expected to be further changes to the line up as well after Amorim started without a recognised striker in the 2-0 home defeat to Palace. January signing Patrick Dorgu is in contention to make his debut in the match, while another two players have been spotted in a matchday squad for the first time.

Three squad debuts expected

The United squad was spotted arriving at Old Trafford on Friday afternoon ahead of their FA Cup fourth round clash with Leicester. Dorgu was one of those pictured in the official match day squad, with the 20-year-old in line to make his debut in the match after he signed for the club last weekend. United have paid Lecce an initial £25 million for his signature, with another £4m in potential add-ons.

Ayden Heaven was also seen arriving at Old Trafford after he signed from Arsenal in the January transfer window. The 18-year-old was announced as a first team signing and could be given an immediate opportunity to showcase his talents tonight. It is understood Hubert Graczyk is also set to be named in a senior squad for the first time amid a lack of goalkeeper options. Tom Heaton has not featured lately while fellow youngster Elyh Harrison is cup-tied from his loan spell with Chester.

United confirmed squad members vs Leicester (not final list)

Onana; Mazraoui, Dalot, Maguire, Yoro, Lindelof, Heaven, Dorgu; Casemiro, Ugarte, Mainoo, Fernandes, Eriksen, Collyer; Zirkzee, Amad.
