Page 3 - Manchester United: 3 Men who would be vital against Leicester City

#1 Daniel James

Daniel James is currently the top-scorer in the team with 3 goals to his name

The current top-scorer of the team is always expected to add to his tally. Daniel James will be chasing a milestone of his own when he takes the pitch against Leicester City. He could become only the second Red Devil to score in his first three Premier League games at Old Trafford - a record held only by his current manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Leaving the milestone aside, the onus of scoring will be heavily on James and Marcus Rashfrod, in the absence of both Anthony Martial and Paul Pogba.

Creation through the wings is much the better option against Leicester than trying to hit them head-on in the center. First, getting past Wilfried Ndidi's screen will be difficult and then Caglar Soyuncu and Wes Morgan are big, physical presences who are tough to slide past. Leaving Andreas Pereira to ram through the right-hand side is one option but James, given his pace, and sweet right-foot should hold more freedom to run through the sides.

James will be greeted by Ricardo Pereira, another defender with solid numbers of 5 tackles and 1.3 interceptions per game. But Pereira is dribbled past 2.5 times on an average which is James' cue and gives away almost 2 fouls per game.

James will be the most vital component in goal-scoring and creation for Solskjaer tomorrow against Leicester.
