Ruud van Nistelrooy will take charge of Manchester United for the final time as interim boss against Leicester City this weekend.

United scored four times in the first-half in a 5-2 win over the Foxes in van Nistelrooy’s first game in charge in the Carabao Cup last week.

After a draw against Chelsea and a first European win of the season against PAOK on Thursday, the Dutchman will be looking to sign off in style.

Amad Diallo strengthened his case for a starting role with a superb individual performance against the Greek champions, scoring twice in the second-half. The Ivorian started on the right of United’s attack with Alejandro Garnacho on the left with Marcus Rashford emerging from the subs bench in the second-half.

While he was forced off with a foot issue late on, Amad was back on the pitch bare-footed after the final whistle and would appear to be in contention for the weekend.

Mason Mount came on as a second-half sub on Thursday having recovered from his most recent setback but United remain without a host of other players.

Kobbie Mainoo is likely to remain sidelined along with Harry Maguire, with both left out of the latest England squad this week.

Luke Shaw is still to return to first-team training with Tyrell Malacia also working his way back, likely to be given minutes for the Under-21 side before any first-team action.

Leny Yoro meanwhile is making progress and could be in contention for Rubem Amorim’s first game in charge against Ipswich Town on 24 November.
