Ruud van Nistelrooy, 48, will watch his new team from the stands as they take on Brentford on Saturday evening. It will be an opportunity for him to familiarise himself with Leicester's players and tactics before hosting West Ham United at the King Power Stadium in the early hours of Wednesday morning. Van Nistelrooy's appointment underlines Leicester's efforts to bring a new style and look to the team as they seek to escape their points woes this season.

One of Van Nistelrooy's top priorities is to strengthen Leicester's squad through the transfer market. According to various sports reports, he could consider bringing in some of Manchester United's young talents. Van Nistelrooy has recently worked with United's youth team and has helped a number of youngsters make their mark in the first team.

Jayce Fitzgerald

Jayce Fitzgerald is one of the potential names Van Nistelrooy could consider. The 17-year-old central midfielder has scored six goals and provided three assists in 35 Premier League Under-18 appearances. Fitzgerald has also featured for England Under-17s and is developing rapidly under Van Nistelrooy, having been called up to the first team and made the bench in the 5-2 Carabao Cup win over Leicester.

Harry Amass

Alongside Fitzgerald, Harry Amass is also highly rated. The left-back has featured in a number of games for the first team and is becoming an important player in Man Utd's attacking play. With James Justin in the mix at Leicester, Amass could be in a position to bolster his full-back options in the upcoming transfer window, although he may not be ready for a Premier League start.

Ethan Wheatley

Ethan Wheatley, 19, is a rising talent in the Manchester United academy. He has scored five goals in just six Premier League 2 games and has already played five minutes for the first team under Van Nistelrooy. Leicester are currently short of quality options in attack, especially after the disappointment of Odsonne Edouard. Wheatley would be an ideal addition to the Foxes, while also giving them the chance to learn from veteran striker Jamie Vardy.

Ruud van Nistelrooy is under huge pressure as Leicester manager as he looks to quickly turn around the form of his side in a difficult situation. However, with the young talent from Manchester United that he can recruit, Leicester will hope to soon regain their strength and position in the tournament. The appointment of Ruud van Nistelrooy promises to bring a new wind to Leicester City, at the same time opening up opportunities for many young talents from Manchester United to join the game in the context of the upcoming transfer market.
