Manchester United vs Leicester: Line-ups revealed for FA Cup fourth round curtain-raiser
Ruud van Nistelrooy will be hoping for a win on his return to Old Trafford.
Manchester United’s season can take another negative turn if they lose to Leicester in the FA Cup.
The Foxes have been no better off since Ruud van Nistelrooy arrived as their new head coach, but the same can be said for the Red Devils under Ruben Amorim.
Both managers are desperate for a win to ease the pressure surrounding their jobs, but it looks a tough task for the visiting side.
Despite United’s poor home record this term, they still have far more firepower than their opponents in every area of the pitch.
Still, anything can happen in the FA Cup.
Read on to see how both teams line-up for this Friday night clash under the lights.
