Manchester United vs Leicester LIVE!
Ruud van Nistelrooy takes charge of Manchester United for the final time when Leicester City visit Old Trafford in the Premier League this afternoon. Ruben Amorim starts work on Monday after finishing up at Sporting Lisbon and Van Nistelrooy will want to go out on a high.
Thursday’s 2-0 win over PAOK in the Europa League means Van Nistelrooy is unbeaten in three games since taking over from Erik ten Hag and United should be too strong for a Leicester side who are only four points above the relegation zone. But the Red Devils have made their worst-ever start to a Premier League season and cannot take anything for granted against Steve Cooper’s men.
Amorim will take over a United side in the bottom half of the Premier League table, though a win would give the club a lift as fans prepare to usher in the start of a new era. A second-string Leicester side were thumped 5-2 at Old Trafford in the Carabao Cup last month but could go above United in the table with a win here.

Fletcher given three-game ban
Darren Fletcher has been handed a three-match extended touchline ban as well as a £7,500 fine for misconduct at Manchester United’s Premier League game with Brentford last month.
An independent Regulatory Commission imposed the sanction after finding the FA allegations that the United coach acted in an improper and/or confrontational manner and/or that he used abusive and/or insulting words towards the fourth official and the referee and/or assistant referees around the tunnel area at half time, to be proven.
Fletcher admitted the misconduct but denied that he was abusive in an incident which came after Brentford scored while Matthijs de Ligt was off the field receiving treatment for a head cut.
The United defender had already been bandaged up after being kneed in the head, but the referee forced him off again, leading to Fletcher’s, and then-United boss Erik ten Hag’s, complaints.
The ban means Fletcher will not be on the touchline for Ruud van Nistelrooy’s final game in interim charge against Leicester today, or Ruben Amorim’s opening two league games against Ipswich and Everton.

Van Nistelrooy gives Amorim advice
Ruud van Nistelrooy has made it clear to incoming manager Ruben Amorim which area Manchester United need to improve on most.
Van Nistelrooy insists he believes in United’s young forwards, but agrees that the club need more goals if they are to become successful once again.
The Red Devils have scored the third-fewest goals in the Premier League this season, with only Southampton and Crystal Palace having a lower total than their nine after 10 games.
Alejandro Garnacho is their top scorer with just two goals, with strikers Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee only scoring a single goal each, albeit they have been in and out of the side and Erik ten Hag’s tactics were highly questionable.
He said: “I agree that when you want to be a successful side in the Premier League and in Europe, which is what the build is all about, you need a certain amount of goals. That is clear. That is why the best teams in the world have those players.

Man Utd vs Leicester prediction
While Manchester United have hardly covered themselves in glory this season, they have been better since Ruud van Nistelrooy took over in temporary charge from the axed Erik ten Hag.
United beat Leicester 5-2 in the EFL Cup at Old Trafford at the end of last month, which served as a dress rehearsal for this Premier League encounter.
Slipping up at home to the Foxes in Van Nistelrooy’s final game before Ruben Amorim takes charge would be a huge shock, with Steve Cooper’s visitors without a win in their last three games.
Man Utd to win, 3-1.

Leicester team news
Leicester came away from their 1-1 draw at Ipswich Town last weekend unblemished in terms of injuries – with substitute Jordan Ayew securing a point for them four minutes after coming on.
There is a small possibility that long-term injury absentee Patson Daka could make his return from an ankle issue against Manchester United today.
Bobby Decordova-Reid is also closing in on a comeback after suffering a “nasty wound” in Leicester’s EFL Cup defeat to United.
Hamza Choudhury is also a doubt after the club decided he would not undergo surgery to fix a shoulder issue, meaning that goalkeeper Jakub Stolarczyk may be the only player missing for Steve Cooper at Old Trafford.
Foxes boss Cooper has hinted that he might give Boubakary Soumare his first Premier League start of the campaign in Manchester.
Ayew’s injury-time equaliser at Portman Road may not be enough to earn him a starting berth over Stephy Mavididi and Abdul Fatawu, while Jamie Vardy will hope to build on his tally of six goals in 18 games against the Red Devils.

Man Utd team news
Amad Diallo is pushing to keep his place in the Manchester United team against Leicester after his starring role in Thursday’s Europa League win over PAOK.
Diallo scored twice at Old Trafford and Ruud van Nistelrooy hopes the winger will be fit despite being forced off late on after his midweek double.
The 22-year-old has not started in the Premier League since the 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace on September 21.
“Amad was assessed,” said Van Nistelrooy. “We’re still working on him, to get him ready for Sunday. Hopefully, it will work.
United defenders Luke Shaw and Leny Yoro are back in training but are not yet ready to return.
Kobbie Mainoo is closing in on his comeback but the midfielder will not be available until after the international break.
“Kobbie is also progressing in his injury, he’s making the right steps, but is not yet with the team, though,” Van Nistelrooy added. “That needs a bit more time.”
With Mainoo still sidelined, Van Nistelrooy has a decision over who to play in midfield after Cristian Eriksen returned to play 25 minutes off the bench against PAOK.
Manuel Ugarte and Casemiro started on Thursday and Van Nistelrooy will be tempted to largely stick with that side after United made it two wins in three games since Erik ten Hag was sacked.
Manchester United predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Onana; Mazraoui, de Ligt, Martinez, Dalot; Ugarte, Casemiro; Rashford, Fernandes, Amad; Hojlund
