The bad news for Leicester fans is that the venerable Jamie Vardy – at 38, the same age as Dorgu and Heaven put together – is not on the team sheet. The good news is that Ruud van Nistelrooy has a striker on the bench who is only 16: Jake Evans. And he’s not the youngest player in the squad, either. Also among the subs is Jeremy Monga, a left-winger who is 15. This is not a typo.

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

Michael Butler has been taking a close look at how these two managers have fared since they took over. Even the stattos agree: both teams have got worse.

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

On paper, this is a big game: Man United, the holders of the FA Cup and the winners 12 times before that, entertaining Leicester, who won the cup in 2021. On form, it’s not so hot, as both these clubs have fallen on lean times. Leicester, 18th in the Premier League, may well be heading for relegation, and United, who are 13th, haven’t been much better – at least since Van Nistelrooy left them in November, after being personally ushered towards the exit by Ruben Amorim.

This is the third meeting between the sides at Old Trafford this season, and in the first two Ruud was triumphant. As United’s acting manager, he steered his old team to two decisive wins – 5-2 in the Carabao Cup and 3-0 in the league. How Amorim could do with those scorelines now.

Leicester were so impressed with their back-to-back hidings that they hired Ruud to rescue them from the drop. That hasn’t gone so well… in fact, both clubs have newish bosses who appear to have made them worse. It’s the new-manager slump!

“Sorry, and I'm almost certainly wrong.” Brendan said, “But… how does Martinez deserve a shirt to miss the rest of the season? How many full seasons did he play… two games in a row There is. He was fine, but he's struggling to join the pitch.
“This might be a club looking for #likes or #engagement.
An email from Cleveland, Ohio. “I enjoy your newsletter,” says Rob Hissnay. “You are one of the few people who write the truth about Reuben Amoron. The downfall of MUFC continues.” Thank you! The ending of those words seems a bit harsh though.
If everyone wonders what the hell Rob is mentioning, it's the substance site it's called United Writing Founded in 2021 with Rob Smith. And yes, it may have occasionally expressed doubt about the favourable formation of Amorim.
Nice touch from United players, I scream at Lisandro Martinez. Lisandro Martinez misses the rest of the season with a cross-layer injury.

Reuben Amorim is asked if this competition is a priority. “The main goal is to win the Premier League,” he says. Has he seen the table recently?
Rood also spoke about 15-year-old Jeremy Monga, who he is on the bench. “He went under 18, well done, he went under 21, he did well there too.” They grow very quickly.
The game is on ITV in the UK and Rudevan Nistel Louis chats with experts. Asked if it feels strange to be in Old Trafford as a visiting manager, he reveals that he accidentally entered the home dressing room. When he got to a distance, he didn't like it very much. “Small! And it's not comfortable. So they made it right.”
“Is United's job too big for Amorim?” Amazing Jerry Scott. “It's hard to turn a failed club around and we can see that things may get worse before they get better. But his approach doesn't mean that when it might improve. It appears he's torpedoed his team. He doesn't seem to be ready for the demands of management on such a big team.'' He certainly seemed surprised at the Premier League pace and unrelenting. . But to be fair, he was OK with the Cup – seeing Arsenal in the third round, winning all four of his games in the Europa League so far, losing only to the Spurs of Carabao. rotate.
Corrected! Jake Evans' selection announced yesterday by Rud Van Nistelroy is in the end not on his team sheet. So one GCSE student in Leicester – Monga, a 15-year-old leftist. Still, it's quite a bit. I risk feeling old and I am obligated to report that Monga was born July 2009.

Pre-match reading
Michael Butler has seen how these two managers have been carrying since taking over. Even eloquently agree: both teams are getting worse.
preamble
Everyone, welcome to live coverage of the 4th round of the FA Cup in the evening. Was it the first one the Rude van Nistellouis Derby, or Harry Maguire and Johnny Evans?
On paper, this is a big game. Man United, the owner of the FA Cup, entertains Leicester, who won the 12-time winner before that, and won the Cup in 2021. A time of leanness. Leicester, 18th in the Premier League, could be on the verge of relegation, while United, 13th, wasn't that good. Because at least Van Nistellouis left them in November after being personally guided to the exit of Reuben Amorim.
This was the third meeting between Old Trafford's sides this season, with the first two roodes being a victory. As United's proxy manager, he led the old team to two decisive wins. It was 5-2 in the Carabao Cup and 3-0 in the league. How can Amorim now do with those scorelines?
Leicester was so impressed with their back-to-back hideout that they hired Roode to save them from the drop. It's not going very well… In fact, both clubs have new bosses that seem to have made them worse. It's a new manager slump!
Kick-off is at 8pm. Meet the team right away.
