Manchester United vs Leicester City

, KO: 14:00 Nov 10, 2024, Old Trafford
Leicester City

Ruud van Nistelrooy will look to steer Manchester United to victory in his final game in interim charge when Leicester City pitch up at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

The Dutchman is keeping the Red Devils hot-seat warm for incoming boss Ruben Amorim, who will officially take the reins on Monday.

United extended their unbeaten run under van Nistelrooy’s watch to three matches with a 2-0 win over PAOK in the Europa League on Thursday night, in a game that brought up my Bet Builder.

Back at their Old Trafford headquarters on Sunday, the Red Devils will look to land what would be just their fourth Premier League win of the season when Leicester come to town.

Tipped by many for a season of struggle, the Foxes have made a quietly impressive start to life back in the top-flight thus far.

Steve Cooper’s side have accumulated 10 points from their opening 10 games, the most recent of which saw them rescue a last-gasp 1-1 draw away at Ipswich.

How the bookies view it: All good in the Ruud

Manchester United, who have emerged victorious from two of their three tussles under van Nistelrooy’s tutorship, are firm 1/3 favourites on Betano.

Despite avoiding defeat in three of their previous four Premier League road matches, Leicester are a lofty 13/2 (Bet 365) to triumph at Old Trafford, while the draw is also deemed unlikely at 17/4 (Betano).

Head to head: Red Devils seeking rerun

Manchester United made light work of Leicester with a 5-2 stroll to victory in the EFL Cup last midweek. That means the Red Devils have reigned supreme in each of their last three meetings with the King Power club.

Players to watch: Bruno to land a blow?

Bruno Fernandes has registered a goal involvement in each of Manchester United’s three matches since parting company with Erik ten Hag. The United skipper – who bagged a brace against Leicester last midweek – is 22/25 on UniBet to either score or assist on Sunday.

Jordan Ayew has scored in each of Leicester's last two top-flight road trips. The Ghanaian forward is as big as 5/1 on Bet 365 to grab a goal at anytime on Sunday.

Predicted line-ups

Manchester United’s medical room is heavily occupied at the moment, as Antony, Harry Maguire, Kobbie Maino, Leny Yoro, Luke Shaw, Mason Mount and Tyrell Malacia all remain in recovery from a variety of injury problems.

Jakub Stolarczyk is expected to miss out again with an ankle issue, however both Hamza Choudhury and Patson Daka are in contention to return to Leicester's matchday squad.

Manchester United: Onana; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot; Casemiro, Ugarte; Rashford, Fernandes, Garnacho; Hojlund

Leicester: Hermansen; Pereira, Okoli, Faes, Justin; Ndidi, Winks; Ayew, Buonanotte, Mavididi; Vardy

Anything else catch the eye?

Manchester United are too short to support at the above-mentioned price but siding with the hosts in a game that features four goals or fewer will boost the price up to 10/11 with William Hill.

A much stronger XI is expected from Leicester at Old Trafford this time around after a second-string was swatted aside in the EFL Cup last week.

Furthermore, three of the Foxes’ four Premier League defeats this season have produced less than five match strikes, as have each of Man United’s three top-flight triumphs this term to date.
