Manchester United vs Leicester: Van Nistelrooy's Final Game in Charge
This Sunday, Manchester United welcomes Leicester to Old Trafford for Ruud van Nistelrooy's final game as interim manager. The Red Devils aim to build on their recent 2-0 Europa League victory against PAOK and 1-1 draw with Chelsea.
Van Nistelrooy's Interim Stint
Since taking over after Erik ten Hag's departure, Van Nistelrooy has guided United to a convincing 5-2 Carabao Cup win over Leicester and a much-needed Europa League triumph. A victory against the Foxes would provide a fitting conclusion to his interim tenure before Ruben Amorim's arrival.
