Man United team news for Leicester game ‘leaked’, fans are furious and can’t believe it

Manchester United’s team news for their Premier League game against Leicester City has supposedly been ‘leaked’ online and fans aren’t happy.

And it appears that Erik ten Hag is set to rotate his team ahead of the play-off second-leg against the La Liga giants next Thursday.

That’s according to Twitter user @StrettyNews, who claims Anthony Elanga is set to start. Not to mention Victor Lindelof, who’s also reportedly in line to feature in the starting XI.

However, the potential of Elanga playing against the Foxes from the start hasn’t been received well among Man United fans on social media.

One Twitter user wrote: “There is no need to start Elanga. if he wants rotation there are other players.”

A second tweeted: “I hate being negative but in my head this has got 1-1 written all over it.”

A third added: “If this is really true, then what a disrespect for Pellistri. He’s been class every time he’s been on, only for ETH to start Elanga????”

A fourth said: “Elanga? why? Garnacho and Pellistri should be ahead of him in the wing depth”

Another questioned: “Be interesting to see who’s being rested for Elanga, my first thought is it’s Weghorst because he’s played every game since he signed.”

The 20-year-old has played 14 league games and 21 matches in all competitions this season. He’s yet to score this campaign.

The Swedish winger was the subject of intense transfer speculation during the January transfer window, with Borussia Dortmund thought to be interested in signing him. Though Ten Hag decided to keep him at the club for the rest of the season.

Contrary to reports, Elanga has been named as a substitute, with Alejandro Garnacho starting against Leicester.

As for Lindelof, he’s played just eight league games this season as he starts in defence alongside Lisandro Martinez.
