Manchester United vs Leicester City Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Preview

Manchester United enter into the new campaign with manager Jose Mourinho rated as one of the favourites to get the sack in the first few months. The Red Devils have been unable to win the league title since 2013 and last season’s second-place finish was the closest the club has come towards ending this drought. Claude Puel was able to guide Leicester City to a respectable ninth-place finish last season and the Foxes begin the new campaign with aspirations of qualifying for Europe.

Leicester City were able to snatch a point in their last meeting with United and this prevented a run of five consecutive defeats against the Red Devils. United had the third-best home record in the 2017-18 campaign. Even though a lot of concerns exist, the Red Devils will be eyeing a positive start in front of their home crowd. Apart from wins over West Brom and Brighton, Leicester have struggled when it comes to away games in 2018. I would pick a win at half-time and full-time for the hosts.

Leicester have been able to score in three out of the last four visits to Old Trafford and the club has shown a good desire for goals in pre-season. Jamie Vardy remains in doubt for the game and this seriously reduces the attacking threat for Leicester, but they might just be able to capitalise on United’s inconsistencies. I would pick both teams to score.

Manchester United win at half-time and full-time – 5/4

Both teams to score – 11/10
