'If you are Ruud' - new man told what he needs to do as Leicester City go to Brentford
Ruud van Nistelrooy has been handed some timely advice ahead of Leicester City’s Premier League game at Brentford on Saturday (3pm).
It will be the Foxes first game since Steve Cooper was sacked last Sunday just 12 games into his tenure at the King Power Stadium.
Manchester United legend and recent Old Trafford interim boss van Nistelrooy is the man chosen to replace Cooper, but BBC pundit Chris Sutton has urged the new man not to be in a hurry to take up the City reigns.
In his weekly prediction column, the former Norwich, Blackburn and Celtic striker says: “As I speak, Ruud van Nistelrooy has not been confirmed as Leicester's new manager, and whether he will be in the dugout or in the stands is not clear.

“The smart move would probably be to distance himself from this game because, with five wins and a draw so far, Brentford have got the best home record in the Premier League this season.
“If you are Ruud, you jet in after the game - Heathrow Airport is not far away - and jump on the team bus for the trip home after the Foxes get pumped.
“I have got some sympathy for Steve Cooper over his dismissal by the way. Leicester were always going to struggle this season.
“There are all sorts of stories flying around about how the players never bought into his methods. Maybe there is an element of the Leicester players thinking they are better than they are, but they certainly need to improve their timing.”
And as for getting get “pumped”, Sutton is predicting a 2-1 home win as the Bees extend their brilliant home record. For the record, City first-team coach Ben Dawson will take charge of the club at Brentford with van Nistelrooy’s first game to come next week.
