FA Cup holders Manchester United will face their former striker Ruud van Nistelrooy’s Leicester at Old Trafford in the FA Cup fourth round.
Van Nistelrooy worked as Erik ten Hag’s assistant at United from the start of this season and then served as interim boss following the Dutchman’s sacking.
He left Old Trafford after Ruben Amorim’s arrival as Ten Hag’s permanent replacement and subsequently took charge at Leicester.
Van Nistelrooy, who scored in United’s 2004 FA Cup final win against Millwall, is fighting to lift Leicester out of the Premier League relegation zone.
The 48-year-old spent five years as a United player before joining Real Madrid in 2006.
United, who had Diogo Dalot sent off in the second half, advanced to the fourth round after beating Arsenal 5-3 on penalties following their 1-1 draw on Sunday.
