Manchester United are all set to face Leicester City in the FA Cup Round of 16 tomorrow night, Friday 7th February 2025.
United are the current FA Cup title holders, having won the tournament last season, securing the club a spot in the Europa League.
Now, they’re set to face off with The Foxes, who are now manager by Manchester United legend and former interim coach Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Ruben Amorim arrived at Old Trafford in November, leading to van Nistelrooy and the rest of Erik ten Hag’s coaching staff getting the boot.
Now, the pair will face off, hoping to seal a spot in the next round.
However, the fixture might not be focused on the pair of managers, but rather on a pair of debuts for the United squad.
During the winter transfer window, The Red Devils signed Ayden Heaven and Patrick Dorgu, who could both take to the pitch this week.
Dorgu was recruited to fill the whole on the left flank thank had been left open by Luke Shaw’s continuous injuries, with Diogo Dalot covering the position.
As such it’s expected that Dorgu can hit the ground running and assert himself as the primary left-wing-back at the club.
However, with Lisandro Martinez now ruled out for most of the year with a cruciate ligament tear, Amorim could call on Heaven to take his place or we may see the 18-year-old take to the field off the bench.
As such, both of United’s new signings could have their experience of walking out at Old Trafford extremely soon.
