Ruud van Nistelrooy is set to make his debut as Manchester United’s interim manager in today’s Carabao Cup match against Leicester City at Old Trafford. This comes after Erik ten Hag’s departure on Monday, following a disappointing 2-1 loss to West Ham ¹. Van Nistelrooy expressed mixed emotions about taking the reins, citing sadness over Ten Hag’s departure but also honor in managing the club he loves ¹.

*Predicted Lineup:*
– Goalkeeper: André Onana
– Right-back: Diogo Dalot
– Center-back: Matthijs de Ligt and Victor Lindelöf
– Left-back: Lisandro Martínez
– Defensive midfi match against Leicester City will be a crucial test.
