Leicester City manager Ruud van Nistelrooy will encounter his old club this weekend, as Manchester United visits the King Power Stadium on Sunday to take on the Foxes. The launch time for the Leicester City vs Manchester United game is 19:00 UK Time.
This season has been underwhelming for both teams. Certainly, Leicester’s performance has been significantly poorer. It is currently battling for its existence, sitting in 19th place with 17 points. The current situation for the Foxes leaves much to be desired. Wolverhampton, currently in the precarious 17th position, is already six points ahead of them.
Leicester is currently experiencing a losing streak that has extended to five consecutive rounds. It is seldom interrupted by victories and ties, with the club scoring almost no points. In recent matches, setbacks were encountered against Chelsea (0:1), West Ham (0:2), and Brentford (0:4). Van Nistelrooy’s team has failed to find the net in four straight matches.
In comparison to their rival, United face significantly fewer challenges. Another concern is that the club’s status is significantly elevated; it cannot afford to end the season below mid-table. However, up to this point, everything is proceeding precisely as planned. Amorim’s team currently holds 34 points and is positioned in 14th place. Currently, Fulham finds itself eight points adrift, and given the current form of the Red Devils, reclaiming those points will not be an easy task.
It is important to highlight that in recent matches, MU secured points by drawing with Everton (2:2) and Arsenal (1:1), and also achieved a victory against Ipswich (3:2). However, these were all rather cautious games, with the club rarely asserting dominance or claiming the top position. Additionally, he faced a challenging return match in the 1/8 finals of the Europa League against Real Sociedad this week, securing a 4:1 victory and advancing to the next stage.
