Three Man United players who could join Ruud van Nistelrooy at Leicester City

Ruud van Nistelrooy is set to become the new manager of Leicester City. The Dutchman enjoyed a relatively successful four game spell in charge of United as interim boss following the sacking of Erik ten Hag last month.

He oversaw two wins over Leicester City, victory over PAOK and a draw against Chelsea before leaving the Reds after Ruben Amorim's appointment as permanent manager.

And the former United striker is reportedly set to join the Foxes who sacked manager Steve Cooper on Sunday. The East Midland's club currently sit 16th in the top flight table after 12 games and travel to Brentford next in what could be Van Nistelrooy's first game in charge.

And talk will naturally turn towards which player's at Old Trafford could potentially reunite with the 48-year-old in the January transfer window. Below are three young stars at M16 who could benefit from a loan spell at Leicester under Van Nistelrooy...

The defensive midfielder famously replaced Casemiro at half-time of United's 3-0 defeat against Liverpool in September after the Brazilian had a torrid first 45 minutes. And Collyer has barely played a minute for the first team since aside from 90 minutes against Barnsley in the Carabao Cup.

It feels unfair on the 20-year-old that he hasn't had much of a look in, even after the signing of Manuel Ugarte and with Casemiro enjoying a slight upturn in form. Getting more game time in the top flight is what he needs and a move to Leicester could be perfect for both parties.
