Manchester United are in action for the first time since sacking Erik ten Hag tonight as Leicester City visit Old Trafford in the Carabao Cup fourth round. But those searching for the match on TV in the UK will have noticed that Ruud van Nistelrooy’s maiden outing as interim manager is nowhere to be seen.
Van Nistelrooy will take charge against the Foxes while United finalise the appointment of Sporting head coach Ruben Amorim.
A victory would guide the Red Devils into the quarter-finals and move them three wins away from silverware in a third successive season.
Express Sport runs through all of the match details and TV information you may need to be able to follow United vs Leicester in the Carabao Cup.
When is Man Utd vs Leicester?
United welcome Leicester to Old Trafford in the Carabao Cup this evening, with kick-off set for 7.45pm.
Why isn’t Man Utd vs Leicester on TV guide in the UK?
Sky customers will have grown used to regularly seeing United on the TV guide. However, two Carabao Cup games have been prioritised tonight.
Tottenham and Manchester City’s box office clash has unsurprisingly been selected to be shown on Sky Sports Main Event.
Meanwhile, Sky Sports Plus is offering Liverpool’s trip to Brighton and Hove Albion as its main match as Arne Slot looks to continue his unbeaten start away from home.
It leaves United vs Leicester, Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace, Newcastle United vs Chelsea and Preston North End vs Arsenal absent from the TV guide.
However, there is a way for Sky customers to watch their chosen cup clash, as well as alternative coverage options for others.
