Dressing-room dissension and fan unrest have left under-fire Dutchman cornered as he tries to avoid spectre of relegation

Life as Leicester City manager has gone from bad to worse for Ruud van Nistelrooy.The loss to Fulham on Saturday was the Foxes' seventh defeat in the Premier League on the spin - something that has happened just four times in their history.

Ruud van Nistelrooy was reportedly involved in a ‘heated exchange’ with Leicester star Facundo Buonanotte after the Foxes were dismantled by Fulham. Other players are said to have been involved in the fiery clash between the Manchester United legend and his under-performing squad.

Former top flight star Jason Cundy has branded Leicester City’s appointment of Ruud van Nistelrooy ‘lazy’ and feels they are now all set to be relegated. Van Nistelrooy, who took the job following a stint as caretaker boss at Manchester United, has been unable to turn the ship around at the King Power Stadium and Leicester are sinking.

Van Nistelrooy has won just four of Leicester's points since taking over from Cooper. He started with a win over West Ham United and a draw with Brighton & Hove Albion. He's yet to pick up a single point away from home and Leicester's form from one manager to the next is the definition of going from bad to worse.
