Manchester United and Leicester City will kick off the fourth round of the FA-Cup at Old Trafford this evening. United have been awful at Old Trafford as of late and needs to turn things around. Leicester City have lost three out of their last four games.
The Red Devils have lost five out of their seven last games at Old Trafford across all competitions. The new manager Ruben Amorim took over the reins after Erik Ten Hag got fired three months ago. It is a tough task to take in the middle of the season when the players on the roster are not your choice. Will Amorim get the time he needs from those in charge at Old Trafford? His track record speaks for itself.
Amorim deserves to get the time he needs to overhaul the roster and to set his vision straight at Carrington. Although another loss tonight at Old Trafford will severely test the patience of everybody involved. United are currently at the 13th spot in the Premier League table.
United’s former talisman started out the season as one of Ten Hag’s assistants. Van Nistelrooy is now the manager of Leicester City with a simple and very clear mission. Avoid relegation at every possible cost. The Foxes have lost three out of their last four games. Last week Leicester lost to Everton away at Goodison Park, 0-4. Leicester has conceded nine goals in their four previous games. They currently sit at the 18th position in the Premier League standings. Two points behind Wolverhampton just above the relegation zone.
Marcus Rashford has left the club he spent his whole life in. Lissandro Lopez is out for United. So is Luke Shaw, Jonny Evans and Mason Mount. As far as Leicester goes Wilfred Ndidi, Ricardo Perreira and Abdul Fatawu are out.
PREDICTED LINEUPS: Man United: Bayindir; Mazraoui, Maguire, De Ligt; Dalot, Ugarte, Mainoo, Dorgu; Amad, Hojlund, Fernandes.
