Cooper was replaced by United legend van Nistelrooy in the dugout at the King Power Stadium, after the Dutchman impressed in a four-game interim spell in charge at Old Trafford.

Manchester United are looking to maintain their improved run of form when they take on Leicester City at the King Power Stadium this weekend. Ruben Amorim’s side held Arsenal to a 1-1 draw last weekend in a game they will feel they should have won before turning in another much-improved display against Real Sociedad in the Europa League on Thursday.

Meanwhile, Ruud van Nistelrooy's Leicester will be desperate to break a horror run of results that has seen them lose their last six matches in all competitions, and 12 of their last 13 in the Premier League. Currently 19th in the table, they need a win to help kickstart a run that could get them out of the relegation zone.
