Manchester United are set to host Leicester City at Old Trafford this weekend in what promises to be an interesting encounter in fourth round of FA Cup.
Ruud van Nistelrooy will be making his return to Manchester, as he looks to build winning momentum in what has been a tricky time for him so far at Leicester City as manager.
The Red Devils will look to return to winning ways, after suffering a woeful 0-2 defeat to Crystal Palace last weekend.
Before that, Ruben Amorim’s side went three unbeaten with wins against FCSB, Fulham and Rangers.
United beat Arsenal on penalties at the Emirates back in January, thanks to heroics from Altay Bayindir.
Now, they face what will still be a difficult challenge up against struggling Leicester City.
