3 key Manchester United players who will line up against Leicester City

#2 Alexis Sanchez

Manchester United v West Bromwich Albion - Premier League
Mourinho has touted Sanchez to succeed this season

Sanchez has a new haircut and looks like a different player from the one that endured a tough time at United since his arrival in January. Mourinho predicted that Sanchez would indeed perform this season as he would have settled more into the team's system.

He may be called to play as a striker against Leicester given Romelu Lukaku may be gaining full match fitness after a grueling World Cup. The Chilean scored two goals from that position in pre-season and may yet again prove his worth to the manager on Friday.

His forward movement has been good and still has that sharp Arsenal-like passing mentality that enables him to spot the runs of other attacking players. He will be crucial in linking up play and offering that creative spark against a highly physical Leicester backline.
