It’s been quite a week for Manchester United following Erik ten Hag And probably bringing in Ruben Amorim to be their next manager. Since that deal won’t be completed in time for this match, it will be to Ruud Van Nistelrooy to guide Manchester United to the next round of the tournament. He will face a Leicester City side who have found form under Steve Cooper, but they must balance cup success with avoiding relegation.

Storylines
Manchester United: When there is a managerial change it is important to show why you belong in the XI, so this is an opportunity for United players to step up. Van Nistelrooy knows the team, so there will be cohesion, but surprises can always arise under a new manager.
Manchester United predicted XI: Andre Onana, Lisandro Martinez, Victor Lindelof, Matthijs de Ligt, Diogo Dalot, Manuel Ugarte, Christian Eriksen, Alejandro Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes, Amad Diallo, Rasmus Hojlund
Leicester city: Despite moving to Nottingham Forest, there is still a lot to like about Leiceister’s recent form. They have scored in four consecutive games and Facundo Buonanotte has found his form as a creative force in the middle of the park. Facing United’s shaky defense, it will offer a chance for a win.
Leicester City predicted XI: Mads Hermansen, James Justin, Conor Coady, Wout Faes, Ricardo Pereira, Oliver Skipp, Harry Winks, Stephy Mavididi, Facundo Buonanotte, Abdul Fatawu, Jamie Vardy
Prediction
Playing at home, the Red Devils can turn their form around and get a win when they need it most ahead of a new dawn. Choose: Manchester United 3, Leicester City 1
