Patrick Dorgu and Ayden Heaven could make their Manchester United debuts in the FA Cup against Leicester City.
Dorgu completed his move from Lecce to United on Sunday, signing a contract until the summer of 2030 with the option of an additional year. United have paid £25million for the Denmark international with a potential further £4m in add-ons.
Injuries to Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia have meant United have been unable to call upon the services of a natural left-back for much of the season. Malacia joined PSV Eindhoven on loan earlier this week and Shaw has picked up another knock which means he will miss the clash with the Foxes.

Heaven, 18, arrived at United from Arsenal for an undisclosed compensation fee and he, alongside Dorgu, could be thrown straight into the action by Ruben Amorim on Friday.
"We’ll see," Amorim replied when asked if the duo could be involved. "You guys have to wait until tomorrow but they are ready to play and are two more solutions in this moment."
United will be hoping to take a step closer towards defending their FA Cup crown against Leicester with a place in the fifth round up for grabs.
United have already beaten Leicester twice this season. October's 5-2 triumph in the Carabao Cup fourth round was followed by a 3-0 league success just 10 days later. United will fancy their chances of making it three wins from three against Leicester this season with the Foxes fighting against relegation in the Premier League.
