Sun Nov 10 14:06:01 UTC 2024: ## Manchester United to Face Leicester in Van Nistelrooy’s Final Game

**Manchester, England -** Ruud van Nistelrooy’s brief but impactful interim spell at Manchester United will conclude on Sunday as the Red Devils host Leicester City in a Premier League clash.

Van Nistelrooy, a club legend, took over the managerial reins following Erik ten Hag’s departure and has overseen a mixed bag of results, including a convincing Carabao Cup victory against Leicester, a draw with Chelsea, and a Europa League triumph over PAOK.

United will be looking to secure a win to end Van Nistelrooy’s interim reign on a high note, especially as new head coach Ruben Amorim is set to take charge. However, their league form has been patchy, and they are unlikely to be in the top half of the table even with a victory.

Leicester, currently 15th in the league, will be hoping to capitalize on United’s recent inconsistency. Steve Cooper’s side is coming off a draw against Ipswich and is looking to build on their recent string of positive results.

The match is expected to be a tightly contested affair, with United likely to be favored despite Leicester’s improved performance. The first goal will be crucial in determining the outcome.

**Key Players and Injuries:**

* Mason Mount remains on the bench for United after recovering from a head injury, while Christian Eriksen is expected to start.
