Sun Nov 10 14:45:18 UTC 2024: ## Manchester United’s Interim Boss Provides Squad Update Ahead of Leicester Clash

Manchester United interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy has provided an update on his squad ahead of their final game before the international break, a clash against Leicester City at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Van Nistelrooy confirmed that Amad, who scored both goals in the 2-0 win against PAOK in the Europa League, is still being assessed for fitness following his withdrawal from the game. However, he expressed hope that the winger will be available for the weekend.

Further positive news came regarding Kobbie Mainoo, with the midfielder making positive strides in his recovery but not yet ready to join the team. Meanwhile, the return of Christian Eriksen, Manuel Ugarte, and Mason Mount from injury has boosted the midfield options, with Luke Shaw and Leny Yoro also returning to fitness.

Harry Maguire will miss the reunion with his former club, while Leicester are expected to be without Jakub Stolarczyk, Bobby De Cordova-Reid, and Hamza Choudhury. However, Patson Daka could be available for the Foxes, while Jamie Vardy is expected to feature after missing the recent Carabao Cup tie against United.

Leicester manager Steve Cooper has stated that he will field a very different lineup compared to the 5-2 defeat to United in October, highlighting the return of several players and emphasizing the challenge of facing a talented Manchester United side.

With the international break looming and new head coach Ruben Amorim set to take over after the Leicester game, Sunday’s encounter marks the end of van Nistelrooy’s interim spell.
