Ruud van Nistelrooy is set to be appointed as Leicester City’s new manager, various British media outlets reported on Wednesday.
Leicester sacked Steve Cooper on Sunday after just 12 Premier League games in charge, with the Foxes 16th in the table and only one point above the relegation zone.
Two of Van Nistelrooy’s three wins in four games as United’s caretaker boss in the past month came against Leicester in the League Cup and Premier League.
Sky Sports reported that he could even be appointed in time to lead Leicester in their next game away at Brentford on Saturday.
A prolific goalscorer, Van Nistelrooy enjoyed a glorious playing career, most notably at PSV, Man United and Real Madrid.
