Ruud van Nistelrooy will take charge of tonight?s Carabao Cup clash against Leicester City with the club hopeful of bringing in Ruben Amorim from Sporting Lisbon as their new permanent boss before the weekend.

Ten Hag departs having won the Carabao Cup and FA Cup in his two seasons in charge in Manchester.

While the former Ajax boss is not thought to have lost the dressing room by the end, The Daily Star report Ten Hag felt he had been let down by some senior players, including Casemiro, Rashford and Antony.

Casemiro joined United from Real Madrid during Ten Hag?s first summer in charge, enjoying a superb first campaign in Manchester. The Brazilian struggled last season however and was dropped from the squad for the FA Cup final against City.
