Manchester United fans fully support Jose Mourinho’s change for Leicester match

It was probably the right call.

Jose Mourinho has made one change for the visit of Leicester City. Manchester United play the former Premier League champions in Saturday’s late kick-off, and will be hoping to continue their perfect start to the season. Mourinho’s side have won both of their games 4-0, against West Ham United and Swansea City respectively, and will confirm their place at the top of the table with a win over the Foxes.

After starting the season in such great form, competition for places is strong, particularly among United’s attacking players. Anthony Martial has scored twice in two games, despite not starting either, and has now forced his way into Mourinho’s team.

The French forward is United’s only change for the game against Leicester.

And here’s Leicester’s team:

Martial’s inclusion, at the expense of Marcus Rashford, was largely met with approval by United fans.

Rashford has played well in United’s opening games, but many feel Martial merits a start on the back of his goalscoring displays from the bench.

Finally Martial starts ahead of Rashford #Mufc

Pleased with this line up. Martial deserves to start over Rashford after his two stunning appearances off the bench. #MUFC https://t.co/j5Wx0retWC

Called Martial to start on the pod. Rashford improving but wasteful. Martial clinical. Chance in 1st half v Swans the killer for Rash. #MUFC

To be honest great man management by Jose play the hot hand…also will bring Rashford on to exploit space later..Martial needs to perform
