Manchester United vs Leicester City FA Cup live match time and streaming

Ruud van Nistelrooy will make his return to Old Trafford on Friday evening as his Leicester City team aims to eliminate Manchester United from the FA Cup fourth round.

 

The former Manchester United legend briefly took interim charge of the club earlier this season before Ruben Amorim's appointment. During his short time in charge, he managed to defeat Leicester twice and now returns as the head coach of the Foxes.

 

This will mark Leicester’s third visit to Old Trafford this season, having suffered heavy losses in both the Carabao Cup and Premier League, conceding eight goals. After a demoralizing 4-0 loss to Everton last weekend, expectations are low for Leicester.

 

 

Manchester United had a tough path to the fourth round of the FA Cup, edging out Arsenal in a penalty shootout at the Emirates in January. The defending champions are looking to reach a third consecutive final and are favored to win on Friday, despite recent setbacks. 

 

Manchester United Team News

 

Manchester United suffered a major setback during Sunday’s loss to Crystal Palace, with Lisandro Martinez sustaining an ACL tear that will keep him out for the rest of the season.

 

Recent reports indicate that Luke Shaw has encountered a setback in his recovery and may be out for several more weeks. He is now joined by Jonny Evans and Mason Mount in the injury list.

 

January signing Patrick Dorgu, who arrived from Lecce for £29.2m, could make his debut against Leicester, while fellow new recruit Ayden Heaven might also be included in the squad.

 

Leicester City Team news

 

Leicester saw the return of their starting goalkeeper, Mads Hermansen, from injury over the weekend, though he conceded four goals on his comeback. The 24-year-old had been sidelined for six weeks.

 

The Foxes are still missing long-term absentees Abdul Fatawu, Ricardo Pereira, and Wilfred Ndidi, although Ndidi is nearing a return.

 

With no midweek fixtures to contend with, Van Nistelrooy is expected to field his strongest lineup at Old Trafford.

Key player battles to look out for

 

Joshua Zirkzee vs Vestergaard: The United striker is struggling for goals at the moment but the Dutch forward did have a good outing against Arsenal in the previous as he converted the winning penalty in the shootout to knock the Gunners out. Vestergaard will be vary of his ball holding abilities and would have to choose when to rush and when to hold back on him.

 

Jamie Vardy vs Harry Maguire: Leicester's Jamie Vardy is known to give defences a hard time on the pitch and the 38-year-old will surely try to give Maguire a hard time tonight. Maguire has been in good form recently and will try to continue his performances in the heart of the United defence.
