McKENNA TURNS UP THE HEAT ON VAN NISTELROOY AS IPSWICH BOSS CLAIMS LEICESTER CITY ARE UNDER MORE PRESSURE IN RELEGATION BATTLE

Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna has piled the pressure on Ruud van Nistelrooy and Leicester City, claiming that the Foxes are under more pressure in the relegation battle due to their recent success in European competitions.

McKenna’s comments come after Leicester City’s 3-1 win over West Ham United in Van Nistelrooy’s managerial debut. Despite the victory, McKenna believes that Leicester City are not a typical newly-promoted team and are therefore under more pressure to stay up.

“People who are wiser than me and have been around the league for longer said that they felt that this would be a really, really strong Premier League this season,” McKenna told the East Anglian Daily Times. “I think it’s proved to be that. I think there’s probably the least pressure on us.”

McKenna’s comments are likely to add to the pressure on Van Nistelrooy and Leicester City as they bid to stay in the Premier League. The Foxes are currently four points above the drop zone, but McKenna believes that they are under more pressure due to their recent success.

“I think the two teams who came up with us, I’d say, are not typical newly-promoted teams,” McKenna said. “Leicester were in Europe a couple of seasons ago and Southampton are coming off the back of a decade in the Premier League.”

VAN NISTELROOY FACES DAUNTING TASK

Van Nistelrooy faces a daunting task in keeping Leicester City in the Premier League. The Foxes have struggled for consistency this season, and their recent win over West Ham United was only their second in 10 games.

Despite the challenges ahead, Van Nistelrooy remains confident that Leicester City can stay up. The Dutch manager has a wealth of experience in the game, and he will be determined to use his knowledge to keep the Foxes in the Premier League.

RELEGATION BATTLE HEATS UP

The relegation battle is heating up, with several teams still in danger of going down. Ipswich Town, Southampton, and Everton are all struggling to stay up, and the pressure is mounting on their managers to deliver results.

Leicester City’s win over West Ham United has given them a boost, but they know that they cannot afford to relax. The Foxes face a tough run of fixtures in the coming weeks, including games against Brighton and Liverpool.

CAN VAN NISTELROOY KEEP LEICESTER CITY UP?

Only time will tell if Van Nistelrooy can keep Leicester City up. The Dutch manager has a tough task ahead of him, but he has the experience and knowledge to succeed.

One thing is certain, though – the relegation battle is going to be intense. Several teams are still in danger of going down, and the pressure is mounting on their managers to deliver results.
