Manchester United host Chelsea in a heavyweight Premier League showdown at Old Trafford on Sunday.
The mood at Old Trafford has been lifted this week by the appointment of Ruben Amorim but he does not start work until November 11 so Ruud van Nistelrooy will again be in the home dugout.
Van Nistelrooy oversaw a 5-2 win against Leicester in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday but Chelsea will present a different challenge.
