When Manchester United hosts Leicester in the Carabao Cup tonight, interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy will select his starting lineup.
After losing 2-1 on the road to West Ham less than twenty-four hours earlier, the Red Devils fired Erik ten Hag on Monday. Van Nistelrooy, a former United hero, was promptly appointed as the team’s new interim manager.
It is unclear how long the Dutchman will be in command, as there are increasing rumors that Sporting CP manager Ruben Amorim will be Ten Hag’s permanent replacement.
But one thing is certain: Van Nistelrooy will be in charge of the Foxes’ visit.
Many important players are still absent from United, especially in defense. While Antony and Mason Mount need to be evaluated, none of Luke Shaw, Leny Yoro, Harry Maguire, Kobbie Mainoo, or Tyrell Malacia are anticipated to return.
Prior to his dismissal, Ten Hag stated that Shaw had experienced a setback in his recuperation from an injury.
Despite coming off against the Hammers, Noussair Mazraoui’s condition has not yet been updated.
Shaw, Yoro, Maguire, Mainoo, and Malacia were hurt.
Questions: Mazraoui, Antony, and Mount
