Ruud van Nistelrooy will take charge of Man United for the first time before the arrival of Ruben Amorim when the Red Devils welcome Leicester in the Premier League on Sunday.
United continue to languish in the bottom half of the standings after winning just three times in ten matches this term. The Red Devils played out an underwhelming 1-1 draw with Chelsea at the Theatre of Dreams last Sunday.
Leicester will have the opportunity to move ahead of United in the standings with a win on Sunday. The Foxes have won two of their last four matches in the Premier League.
Odds
Despite their issues this season, Man United will be a short price favorite at -265 this weekend. A win for Leicester is an outside selection at +685.

Leicester’s latest win at Old Trafford was recorded in May 2021, but they have suffered defeats in six of their last eight trips.
