Manchester United V Leicester: FA Cup Fourth Round – Live | FA CUP

“Is the United Job too big for Amorim?” Witnesses Gerry Scott. “I can understand that it is difficult to turn a failing club around, and even that things can get worse before they get better. His approach seems to have just torpedoed the team, but without meaning when it could ever improve. He just seems unclear to the demands of steering in such a large team. “He certainly seems to have been surprised by the pace and graciousness of the Premier League. But to be fair, he has done well in the cups – to see Arsenal in the third round, win all his matches in the Europa League so far and only lose for spurs in Carabao as he walked overboard with the rotation.

Correction! After all, Jake Evans, whose elections were announced by Ruud van Nistelrooy yesterday, is not on the team sheet. Then just the GCSE student for Leicester-Monga, the 15-year-old leftist. It’s still something. The risk of making you feel old I am obliged to report that Monga was born in July 2009.

Hold Full: Leicester

Leicester (4-2-3-1) Hermansen; Justin, Faes, Okoli, Thomas; Ndidi, Soumaré; Ayew, El Khanous, de Cordova-Reid; Daka.
SUBS: Stolarczyk, Coulibaly, Coady, Skipp, Winks, Mavididi, Buonanotte, Mcateer, Monga.

KEEP FULL: United

Man united (3-4-2-1) masturbation; Mazraoui, Maguire, Yoro; Dalot, Ugarte, Fernandes, Dorgu; Amad, Maino; Hølund.
Subs: Graczyk, Heaven, Lindelof, De Ligt, Collys, Casemiro, Eriksen, Garnacho, Zirkzee.

KEEP CARD: NO VARDY!

The bad news for Leicester fans is that the honorable Jamie Vardy – at 38, at the same age as Dorgu and Heaven put together – are not on the team sheet. The good news is that Ruud van Nistelrooy has an striker on the bench that is only 16: Jake Evans. And he is also not the youngest player in the troop. Also among SUBS is Jeremy Monga, a leftist who is 15. This is not a typo.

KEEP CARD: DORGU STARTS FOR UNITED

United only made a senior-ish signing in the transfer window-the 20-year-old wing-back Patrick Dorgu, from Lecce. Ruben Amorim decides to throw him into the deep end. Another new recruiter, the 18-year-old centerback Ayden Heaven from Arsenal, is on the bench. The children are a headline waiting to happen.

Reading before match

Michael Butler has taken a closer look at how these two leaders have been doing since they took over. Even StatTos agrees: Both teams have gotten worse.

Preamble

Evening everyone and welcome to live coverage of the fourth round of the FA Cup. First up is Ruud Van Nistelrooy Derby, or should it be Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans?

On paper, this is a big game: one United, the owners of the FA Cup and the winners 12 times before that, entertaining Leicester, who won the cup in 2021. In shape it is not so hot as both of these clubs have fallen at lean times. Leicester, 18. In the Premier League, may well be on its way to relegation, and United, who is 13., has not been much better – at least since Van Nistelrooy left them in November after he was personally initiated towards the end of Ruben Amorim.

This is the third meeting between the pages of Old Trafford this season, and in the first two Ruud was triumphant. As United’s acting manager, he managed his old team to two crucial wins-5-2 in the Carabao Cup and 3-0 in the league. How Amorim could do with these scoring lines now.

Leicester was so impressed with their back-to-back shy that they hired Ruud to save them from the drop. It’s not gone so well … In fact, both clubs have new bosses who seem to have made them worse. That’s the new manager-down!

Kick-off is at. 20, and I’ll see the teams soon.
