Ruud van Nistelrooy will make a return to Old Trafford with Leicester City after the Foxes were drawn to face his former club, Manchester United, in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
The Dutch striker, who won the FA Cup with United in 2004, briefly took on the role of interim manager for the Red Devils following Erik ten Hag’s departure earlier this season before moving to Leicester.
Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United kicked off their FA Cup defense with a thrilling penalty shootout win over Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. United were down to 10 men for over an hour after Diogo Dalot’s red card, but managed to hold on and win.
In another exciting tie, Championship strugglers Plymouth Argyle, who caused an upset by defeating Brentford in round three, will host Premier League leaders Liverpool at home.
Manchester City will travel away to face either Leyton Orient or Derby County, while in-form Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United will head to Exeter City and Birmingham City, respectively.
Two high-profile Premier League matchups feature Aston Villa hosting Tottenham and Brighton taking on Chelsea. Everton and Bournemouth will also square off in what promises to be an intriguing encounter.
Meanwhile, Ipswich Town and Wolverhampton Wanderers face away ties against Championship opposition, with Ipswich set to visit Coventry City and Wolves traveling to Blackburn Rovers. Fulham, on the other hand, will play away against either Mansfield Town or Wigan Athletic.
