It has been quite a week for Manchester United after moving on from Erik ten Hag and likely bringing in Ruben Amorim to be their next manager. Since that deal won't be completed in time for this match, it will be down to Ruud Van Nistelrooy to guide Manchester United into the next round of the tournament. He'll be faced with a Leicester City side who have been rounding into form under Steve Cooper but they have to balance success in the cup with also looking to avoid relegation. 

Here are our storylines, how you can watch the match and more:

Storylines

Manchester United: When a change in managers happens, it's important to show why you belong in the XI so this is a chance for United players to step up. Van Nistelrooy is familiar with the squad so there will be cohesion but surprises can always happen under a new manager.

Manchester United predicted XI: Andre Onana, Lisandro Martinez, Victor Lindelof, Matthijs de Ligt, Diogo Dalot, Manuel Ugarte, Christian Eriksen, Alejandro Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes, Amad Diallo, Rasmus Hojlund

Leicester City: Despite falling to Nottingham Forest, there's still a lot to like about Leiceister's recent form. They've scored in four consecutive Games and Facundo Buonanotte has found his form as a creative force in the center of the park. Facing United's shaky defense, it will provide a chance to pull out a victory. 

Leicester City predicted XI: Mads Hermansen, James Justin, Conor Coady, Wout Faes, Ricardo Pereira, Oliver Skipp, Harry Winks, Stephy Mavididi, Facundo Buonanotte, Abdul Fatawu, Jamie Vardy

Prediction

Playing at home, the Red Devils will be able to turn their form around picking up a victory when they need it most ahead of a new dawn. Pick: Manchester United 3, Leicester City 1
