Van Nistelrooy Returns To Old Trafford For FA Cup Fourth Round

Ruud van Nistelrooy is set to revisit Old Trafford as Leicester City face Manchester United in the FA Cup fourth round. The Dutchman, who clinched the FA Cup with United in 2004, briefly managed the Red Devils after Erik ten Hag's exit earlier this season before taking charge of Leicester.

Manchester United, under Ruben Amorim, kicked off their title defence with a thrilling win over Arsenal on penalties at the Emirates Stadium. This victory came despite being reduced to 10 men for over an hour following Diogo Dalot's dismissal. Meanwhile, Plymouth Argyle, sitting at the bottom of the Championship, will host Premier League leaders Liverpool after their surprise victory over Brentford in the third round.

Manchester City will travel to face either Leyton Orient or Derby County in their next match. Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United are also on the road, heading to Exeter City and Birmingham City respectively. In other notable fixtures, Aston Villa will play Tottenham at home, while Brighton will host Chelsea. Everton and Bournemouth are set to clash in another Premier League encounter.

Elsewhere in the draw, Ipswich Town and Wolves have been drawn against Championship teams Coventry City and Blackburn Rovers respectively. Fulham will face an away challenge against either Mansfield Town or Wigan Athletic.

The upcoming matches promise excitement as teams from different leagues compete for a place in the next round. Fans eagerly anticipate these encounters as clubs aim to progress further in this prestigious competition.
