Man United have star back for Leicester but ex-Fox doubtful | OneFootball

Nothing less than a Ruud van Nistelrooy post-Christmas miracle is needed at King Power Stadium this weekend. Can the Dutchman provide Foxes fans with the much-needed gift of three points in an unusually late Sunday match? Beating his old team won't be an easy task for the Leicester City manager. The former striker has a definite and obvious relationship with his ex-club Manchester United. Although he seems to be focused on City's progress. Albeit he's had next to no success on Filbert Way so far.

While Man United haven't been the same for over a decade now, they are looking quite deadly at the moment. Bruno Fernandes has hit form just in time for his encounter with LCFC, typically. Van Nistelrooy even singled out the supremely talented Portuguese for praise and monitoring in the clash. I believe Ruben Amorim may take United back to being a top four side eventually - if given time, scope as well as a suitable budget.

Of course, the Red Devils are a shell of what they were in the Alex Ferguson era. Yet some quality remains in the squad, as outlined earlier with regard to Fernandes. They still have misfiring and prominent men such as floundering forward Rasmus Højlund. Though, as a unit under Amorim, they are improving as I see it. And the modern Man United might perhaps consolidate further when one of their injured stars returns. The notable player in question could be back for the Leicester contest. However, another high profile ex-Fox and England international is a doubt for the match. Let's see how the Utd squad is doing.

The United gaffer would love to welcome back Mason Mount for the Foxes fixture. And he may just get his wish:
