Manchester United welcome Leicester City to Old Trafford in the FA Cup fourth round on Friday night after setting their worst run of home form for 131 years last weekend.
Ruben Amorim‘s five defeats in seven home league games is already more than his compatriot Jose Mourinho managed in two-and-a-half years at the club, and he must make amends for that run here against their fellow Premier League strugglers.
While Amorim has earned famous wins at Manchester City and Arsenal in the third round of this competition, Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth, Newcastle United, Brighton and Palace have all come and won with little fuss at the Theatre of Dreams.
The Red Devils remain stuck in the bottom half, down in 13th, just three points above Everton in 16th, meaning the FA Cup and the Europa League will most likely be the only route back into Europe for the club.
This is a favourable draw for the hosts, and being at home should help too. Man United have already recorded two comfortable wins over Leicester at home this season, and despite their dismal form since Amorim’s arrival, this should be a more relaxing evening.
