Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, is making some changes to his coaching staff. He has reached out to Ruud van Nistelrooy, a former Manchester United player and legend, to discuss the possibility of him returning to Old Trafford as part of the coaching team. Van Nistelrooy is well-known for his impressive goal-scoring record during his time with the club, where he scored 150 goals in just 219 appearances.
During his time at Manchester United, Van Nistelrooy helped the team secure the Premier League title in 2003 and two other domestic trophies in the following years. He then went on to achieve even more success at Real Madrid before retiring in 2012. Since then, he has had various coaching roles in Holland and was also the assistant manager for the Netherlands' national team twice.
His most recent job was with PSV, one of the top teams in the Dutch Eredivisie, where he helped them win the Dutch Cup and Dutch Super Cup. However, he left the club in May 2023 due to a lack of support within the organization. Van Nistelrooy was also a target for other Premier League teams, such as Leicester City and Burnley, but those opportunities did not materialize.
Now, Ten Hag is looking to bring Van Nistelrooy back to Manchester United, where he could make an emotional return to the club he once played for. The decision to approach him comes as Ten Hag plans to make changes to his coaching team after the club decided to stick with him despite rumors of his potential sacking after a less-than-stellar 2023-24 season.
