Man Utd vs Leicester: Carabao Cup prediction, kick-off time, team news, TV, live stream, h2h, odds tonight

However, the Foxes’ visit comes too early for a quick appointment, as Van Nistelrooy will take charge in a caretaker role.

Ten Hag won this competition in his first season in charge and domestic tournaments have largely been his saving grace, having added the FA Cup last season.

No new injury concerns for Leicester City, who will assess Victor Kristiansen ahead of the match. Jannik Vestergaard, Jakub Stolarczyk, Patson Daka, Hamza Choudhury and long-term absentees.

Manchester United-Leicester prediction

Van Nistelrooy will be desperate to start his interim spell in style, especially if he has plans for the permanent job, but it remains to be seen whether he will have time to change too much.

You’d imagine the Dutchman will make a few tactical adjustments that will be more to his liking rather than any major changes, but the change in mood around the club – yes, the ‘new manager bump’ should account for it ensure United secure a place in the quarter-finals.
