Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho will hope to cap a successful week, on and off the field, by making it three wins in as many games when Leicester visit Old Trafford on Saturday.
United have won their opening two league games, each by 4-0 scorelines, at home to West Ham and at Swansea, while Mourinho has been boosted by seeing key squad members return from long term injuries.
As if that was not encouraging enough for Mourinho, Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has rejoined on a one year contract and should be available before the end of the year after recovering from knee surgery.
Defenders Luke Shaw and Marcos Rojo are also regaining fitness, along with winger Ashley Young.
Shaw and Young, who both came through an under 23 fixture this week, could find themselves on the bench again Leicester.
With Ibrahimovic still months away from a return to first team action, Mourinho will be hoping Romelo Lukaku, the man signed to replace the 28 goals scored by the Swede last season, can continue in his current form.
The Belgian international scored three goals in his first two league games - four in three games, including his goal in the European Super Cup defeat to Real Madrid.
And Ibrahimovic believes that, despite losing club captain Wayne Rooney this summer, United's attacking corps is far stronger thanks to the development of Marcus Rashford and the arrival of Lukaku.
