**Manchester, England** – Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has named a starting XI featuring new signing Patrick Dorgu for tonight’s Emirates FA Cup fourth-round clash against Leicester City at Old Trafford. The game kicks off at 8 PM GMT.

Dorgu, who joined United from Lecce in January, will make his full debut, with Amorim explaining his selection to ITV Sport: “He needs to start playing. He did very well this week. Wingers are really important for our game.” Fellow January arrival Ayden Heaven is named among the substitutes, alongside potential debutant goalkeeper Hubert Graczyk.

Other notable changes from United’s recent 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace include the return of Rasmus Hojlund to the starting eleven, replacing Alejandro Garnacho. This shift sees Kobbie Mainoo moving into a more withdrawn attacking role. Amorim praised Mainoo’s performance in a recent Europa League game, highlighting his ability in one-on-one situations near the box. Goalkeeper Altay Bayindir is absent due to injury, with Andre Onana retaining his place between the posts.

The full Manchester United starting XI is: Onana; Yoro, Maguire, Mazraoui; Dalot, Ugarte, Fernandes, Dorgu; Amad, Mainoo; Hojlund.

Leicester City’s team features: Hermansen; Justin, Okoli, Faes, Thomas; Ndidi, Soumaré; De Cordova-Reid, El Khannouss, Ayew; Daka.

The match will be a key test for United as they aim to defend their FA Cup title. Live updates will be available on the Match Centre. The article also notes that the game will mark a farewell to Old Trafford legend Denis Law.
