January recruits Patrick Dorgu and Ayden Heaven are in contention to make their Manchester United debuts after being included in the matchday squad for tonight's FA Cup clash with Leicester City at Old Trafford.
Dorgu and Heaven were among the first players to arrive at Old Trafford shortly after 4pm this afternoon. The duo arrived from Lecce and Arsenal respectively last weekend.
United will be without Lisandro Martinez for a lengthy period, leaving them light on options at left centre-back, meaning Heaven, who is left-footed, could have a role to play sooner than expected.

Heaven has only previously made one appearance in his senior career, coming on as a late substitute in Arsenal's 3-0 win over Preston North End in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup back in October. He replaced Ethan Nwaneri with ten minutes left on the clock.
Both Toby Collyer and Joshua Zirkzee started last Sunday's 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace on the bench, meaning they will be pushing for recalls to the starting XI. Zirkzee has not started any of the last three matches, last being included in the starting line-up for the 2-1 win over Rangers just over a fortnight ago.
A total of 16 players were spotted arriving at Old Trafford ahead of tonight's 8pm kick-off, meaning the full squad is yet to be confirmed.
Confirmed arrivals:
Goalkeepers: Andre Onana.
Defenders: Noussair Mazraoui, Diogo Dalot, Harry Maguire, Leny Yoro, Victor Lindelof, Ayden Heaven, Patrick Dorgu.
Midfielders: Casemiro, Manuel Ugarte, Kobbie Mainoo, Bruno Fernandes, Christian Eriksen, Toby Collyer.
Attackers: Joshua Zirkzee, Amad.
