Manchester United interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy has a tough task when the Red Devils host Chelsea at Old Trafford on Sunday in the English Premier League. The former Manchester United striker will take charge of his first-ever Premier League match after the sacking of former head coach Erik ten Hag.
With just three wins in nine games, Manchester United are sitting pretty below at 13th in the Premier League. Chelsea, on the other hand, are way above at sixth, with five wins from nine games. Nistelrooy will continue to be in charge until new manager Ruben Amorim permanently takes charge on November 11.
Manchester United vs Chelsea team news
Although Nistelrooy didn’t provide any injury news, Manchester United are likely to be without Kobbie Mainoo, Luke Shaw, Anthony, Harry Maguire, Tyrell Malacia, Mason Mount and Leny Yoro – all of whom missed the club’s 5-2 Carabao Cup win over Leicester City.
For Chelsea, head coach Enzo Maresca is lucky to have a fully fit squad but won’t get the services of Jadon Sancho. The English international is on a loan from Manchester United and is ineligible to face his parent club at the Old Trafford on Sunday.
