Sunday 10 November 2024 12:45

Ruud van Nistelrooy has selected the final line-up of his interim spell in charge of Manchester United.

The Dutchman has been holding the fort until Ruben Amorim's arrival on Monday, and is looking to extend his unbeaten record into a fourth match.

Leicester City come to Old Trafford again, as they did for Ruud's opening game as interim head coach, in the Carabao Cup, with Premier League points at stake this time.

PRE-MATCH THOUGHTS | Van Nistelrooy on the test Leicester will pose and why Amad plays instead of Garnacho…

Van Nistelrooy has opted to make three changes to the XI on duty against PAOK in the Europa League on Thursday night.

Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez are reinstated at centre-back, with Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelof moving to the bench. Marcus Rashford starts, in place of Alejandro Garnacho, with Amad fit enough to resume on the right, following his superb two-goal display against the Greek champions.

Antony, Christian Eriksen and Mason Mount are all among the substitutes, as they were last time out.

Bruno Fernandes makes his 250th appearance for the club, while there is no Jamie Vardy for the visitors.

THE TEAMS

United: Onana; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot; Casemiro, Ugarte; Amad, Fernandes (c), Rashford; Hojlund. 

Substitutes: Bayindir, Heaton, Evans, Lindelof, Eriksen, Mount, Antony, Garnacho, Zirkzee.

Leicester: Hermansen; Justin, Vestergaard, Faes, Kristiansen; Soumare, Ndidi, Winks; Buonanotte, Ayew, Fatawu.

Substitutes: Ward, Coady, Okoli, Choudhury, El Khannous, Mavididi, McAteer, Skipp, Edouard.
