Ruud van Nistelrooy takes charge of Manchester United for the last time as interim manager on Sunday, with the Red Devils hosting Leicester City at Old Trafford. United recently secured a 2-0 Europa League win over PAOK, while Leicester snatched a late 1-1 draw with Ipswich.
Match Overview

Amad Diallo’s double led United to their first Europa League win this season, extending van Nistelrooy’s unbeaten run to three games. Back in Premier League action, United sits in 13th place, aiming to climb the standings as new head coach Ruben Amorim prepares to take over. Leicester, two points behind in 15th, will leapfrog United with an upset and have both scored and conceded in every away game this season.
