BBC Sport says the Dutchman can count on the players' confidence. Even those who don't play regularly recognise Van Nistelrooy's influence.

Everyone likes him as a person and the success he found during his playing career - Premier League, two LaLiga titles and two Eredivisie titles - has earned him instant respect.

The Foxes are sitting in second-to-last place in the Premier League, currently level on points with Ipswich who have a game in hand.
