Leicester City have managed to put some distance between themselves and the relegation zone since Ruud van Nistelrooy was made manager.

However, we are still not at the halfway point of the season and it’s clear further signings will be needed to ensure the club are not in a relegation battle come May.

Van Nistelrooy provided a Leicester transfer update in his pre-Brighton press conference last week, confirming there are funds to spend in January.

This is great news for the Midlands outfit, who could do with strengthening on the wing and at the back in particular.

And Van Nistelrooy could now return to his former club, Manchester United, to improve Leicester in the winter.

Leicester City can sign Manchester United duo after Ruben Amorim update

Van Nistelrooy returned to Old Trafford over the summer, working alongside Erik ten Hag as a coach before replacing his countryman as interim manager recently.

However, the appointment of Ruben Amorim saw the Dutchman leave Manchester and take up his new role at Leicester.

Now though, the new Manchester United boss has green-lit the sale of two Red Devils players and the Foxes should look to snap them up.

According to a report from GiveMeSport, the ex-Sporting boss wants to move on several players in order to make room for new signings and get the club’s wage bill down.

It is added that Man Utd want to cash in on Christian Eriksen in January so they don’t lose him for nothing in the summer when his contract expires.
