Ruud van Nistelrooy believes Leicester should build their promotion campaign around homegrown players next season – regardless of whether he is in charge.
The Dutchman faces crunch talks on his future in the coming days after last Sunday’s 1-0 home defeat by Liverpool ensured the Foxes’ disastrous campaign would end in relegation.
Though Van Nistelrooy is far from certain to lead Leicester in the Championship, he has a clear view of how they should proceed.
One of the few positive aspects of the season has been the emergence of wide attacker Jeremy Monga, who has made two Premier League appearances even though he does not turn 16 until July.
