Manchester United will begin life without Erik ten Hag when they host Leicester City in the Carabao Cup tonight and fans are desperate to know if the game will be available to watch on TV.

Ten Hag’s reign at Old Trafford came to an abrupt end on Monday, with his assistant Ruud van Nistelrooy placed in interim charge of the side.

The former Red Devils striker may only have one game in charge of United, though, with the club looking to complete the swift appointment of Sporting Lisbon boss Ruben Amorim.

United cruised through to the round of 16 after an emphatic 7-0 win against Barnsley and will look to book their place in the quarter-finals of the competition which they won under Ten Hag in 2023.
