Tonight, Manchester United will be facing Leicester City in the Carabao Cup, but it will be a different experience for the team without their former manager, Erik ten Hag. After his sudden departure on Monday, assistant coach Ruud van Nistelrooy has been placed in charge of the team on an interim basis.
This may be van Nistelrooy's only game as the manager, as the club is currently in the process of appointing Sporting Lisbon's Ruben Amorim as their new permanent manager. United have been performing well under Ten Hag's leadership, with their latest victory being a 7-0 win against Barnsley, securing their spot in the round of 16. They will be looking to continue their success and advance to the quarter-finals of the competition, which they previously won under Ten Hag in 2023.
For those wondering how to watch tonight's match, it will be aired live on Sky Sports+ in the United Kingdom. The game is set to kick off at 7:45pm at Old Trafford, with coverage starting at 7pm. Sky subscribers can also stream the game through Now TV or Sky Go.
In terms of team news, United still have some players on the injury list, such as Leny Yoro, Mason Mount, Luke Shaw, and Tyrell Malacia. However, there is hope that Harry Maguire, Kobbie Mainoo, and Antony will be available for selection. Noussair Mazraoui, who was forced off during United's recent defeat to West Ham, is also a doubt for the match.
The predicted line-up for Manchester United includes Onana, Dalot, De Ligt, Martinez, Evans, Ugarte, Casemiro, Amad, Fernandes, Rashford, and Hojlund. It will be interesting to see how they perform under van Nistelrooy's guidance.
For those eagerly waiting for the Carabao Cup quarter-final draw, it will take place on Wednesday after the Tottenham vs Manchester City game. The draw will be broadcasted on Sky Sports and is expected to start at around 10:30pm.
