Dutchman who returned to football as United's No 2 last summer is now back at Old Trafford with a Leicester team labouring against the drop

Jettisoning Ruud van Nistelrooy was one of the first things Ruben Amorim did as Man United head coach in November.

Ruud van Nistelrooy's Leicester City will face Man United tonight in the FA Cup 4th round at Old Trafford. Rúben Amorim has explained why the Dutchman couldn't stay.

Ruben Amorim has explained his decision to not keep Ruud van Nistelrooy as part of his coaching staff at Manchester United. Van Nistelrooy was initially brought in as part of Erik ten Hag ’s coaching team last the summer but following the Dutchman’s sacking he was asked to step in as interim manager.

Ruben Amorim opted against keeping Ruud van Nistelrooy as he was joined by six backroom staff members at Man United.

Leicester's standout result under Van Nistelrooy came at the end of last month, when they recorded a 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur, but they will enter Friday's FA Cup clash off the back of a 4-0 defeat at Everton.

Ruud van Nisterlooy said his Leicester City side were defeated in “offside time” after being knocked out of the FA Cup by Manchester United due to an official failing to spot an offside. Harry Maguire headed in a Bruno Fernandes free kick in the 93rd minute,

Ruud van Nistelrooy was furious after an "unacceptable" and "unthinkable" error saw Harry Maguire's offside winner stand as Leicester exited the FA Cup at his former club Manchester United.

Leicester City manager, Ruud van Nistelrooy has lavished praise on Wilfred Ndidi, following the midfielder’s impressive in the Emirates FA Cup defeat to Manchester United. Ndidi made his first appearance for the Foxes since sustaining a muscle injury in the 2-2 draw against Brighton Hove & Albion last December.
