Manchester United take on the visitors Leicester City at the Old Trafford in the 1st tour of the Premier League. The match will be played in Manchester on Friday, August 10th.
Manchester United are the current vice champions of the Premier League and the team is lucky to start the new season in front of their home crowd. Jose Mourinho has made only a few changes to the squad of the team this summer and his most notable transfer has been buying Fred from Shakhtar Donetsk. Also the team has been enhanced with Andreas Pereira who has come back from loan and with Tim Fosu-Mensah. Now there are rumors of their leader Paul Pogba going to Barcelona but there is no need to talk about any changes in the midfield line for the Red Devils until Pogba really does leave Manchester. The team has participated in the International Champions Cup this summer and got only one win after three played matches there. Also Manchester United lost to Bayern Munich in a friendly fixture a few days ago.

Leicester City placed 9th In the Premier League last season which was a good result for a team with such an average financial state. After the team had won the league in the 2015/2016 season N`Golo Kante left it and that loss was crucial for the Foxes. This summer the team has lost another leader in the person of Riyad Mahrez who is going to play for Manchester City in the new season. However, there is no need to despair for the Leicester fans because the team has been also enhanced with Rachid Ghezzal who could possibly replace Mahrez and also with Ricardo Pereira and Johnny Evans.
Leicester City have always been quite a comfortable opponent for Manchester United. The Red Devils have played seven matches against the Foxed in the XXI century on their home field, got six wins and one draw. Of course Manchester United have set the goal for them to win the gold in the Premier League this season so they should show their real strength in the 1st tour match against Leicester City,
Prediction for the match: Manchester United to win.
