Manchester United wish to maintain their improved run of form once they tackle Leicester City on the King Power Stadium this weekend.
Ruben Amorim’s side held Arsenal to a 1-1 draw last weekend in a game they may feel they need to have won before turning in one other much-improved display against Real Sociedad within the Europa League on Thursday.
Focus now shifts back to domestic matters of their final game before the international break. Lisandro Martinez and Amad Diallo remain long-term absentees with no indication of when Luke Shaw shall be available again.
But Amorim has suggested Mason Mount could have a task to play this weekend.
The previous Chelsea midfielder has not featured since December along with his manager eager to get him into the side. Amorim confirmed on Friday Mount will make the bench, claiming even ‘just five minutes of Mason Mount is ideal.’

Leny Yoro was forced off within the draw with Arsenal, missing the win over Real Sociedad along with his ankle injury also ruling him out on Sunday – although his manager insists it shouldn’t be a long-term issue.
His absence could hand one other opportunity to Ayden Heaven, who replaced the Frenchman against the Gunners last week.
The defender enjoyed a high-quality full debut in United colors midweek and shall be hopeful of keeping his place within the side ahead of Victor Lindelof.
Harry Maguire meanwhile is predicted to return the squad having missed the last three games.
Manuel Ugarte was back on the bench at Old Trafford against Real Sociedad and is predicted to return to come back back in and replace Casemiro.
Patrick Dorgu meanwhile will miss out as he serves the ultimate game of his three-match suspension for the straight red card he was shown against Ipswich.
Kobbie Mainoo stays out with hope he shall be available for the sport against Nottingham Forest following the international break with Altay Bayindir and Jonny Evans also still absent.
This shall be United’s fourth meeting with Leicester this season. Ruud van Nistelrooy led them to 2 of those victories during his temporary spell as interim boss within the reverse league fixture and Carabao Cup game before taking over the Foxes job in November.
United needed a really late, and really contentious, winner from Harry Maguire to see off Sunday’s opposition in an FA Cup fourth round tie in February.
Predicted Man Utd XI to face Leicester
Onana, de Ligt, Maguire, Heaven, Mazraoui, Ugarte, Fernandes, Dalot, Zirkzee, Garnacho, Hojlund
