Van Nistelrooy resigns to Leicester City's relegation after latest defeat

Ruud van Nistelrooy has expressed his resignation regarding Leicester City's prospects of avoiding relegation following a 2-0 defeat to Manchester City, leaving the team 12 points adrift of safety. With just eight Premier League matches remaining, Van Nistelrooy acknowledged the gap is 'too much' to overcome and emphasized the need for the squad to focus on presenting themselves well for the remainder of the season. Leicester's dismal run includes 14 losses in their last 15 matches, with seven consecutive games without scoring, a situation that Van Nistelrooy finds ironic given his history as a prolific goalscorer. He has called for alignment with the club's management to discuss the future and ensure adequate support for next season, especially if the team is relegated to the Championship. Despite the bleak outlook, Van Nistelrooy remains committed to working hard with the team to improve their performance in the final matches. The situation has left fans feeling a mix of sympathy and frustration towards both the manager and the players.
