Reacting to Leicester's XI for Man United: Van Nistelrooy hasn't learned | OneFootball

Leicester City find themselves in 19th place in the Premier League at present. Encouragingly, LCFC are on the same amount of points with Ipswich Town. The Tractor Boys are currently in 18th position, but the Foxes have a game in hand. Though Wolverhampton Wanderers are pulling away fast in the safety spot. Defeating Manchester United becomes essential this weekend.

Typically a visit from the Red Devils has smaller clubs licking their lips in anticipation of a contemporary scalp. That's because the once great United are now frail and beatable. Ruud van Nistelrooy was at Utd in one of their standout eras as a star player. He is now the manager at King Power Stadium, and is looking for a possible win against his ex-team. Confidence is low at Leicester, and few fans appear to be predicting victory. Yet I see this as LCFC's final opportunity to create momentum by taking three points in a winnable contest.

Therefore the aim of this particular piece is to assess what the Dutchman potentially has up his sleeve for his former club. We react to Leicester's starting XI versus Man United. Not to mention naming which impact substitutes are on the Foxes' bench for Sunday night's game. Along with giving our verdict predictions for what is a vital match for City.

I believe van Nistelrooy has bottled it (overly cautious) by not deploying Facundo Buonanotte. Yet that decision does designate the Argentine as a supersub. City do have a couple of subs with the capability to influence the contest if required. Let's hope RvN knows something I don't!
