Manchester United fans may see Ruud van Nistelrooy return to coaching under Erik ten Hag, eighteen years after his departure from the club.
Reports suggest Van Nistelrooy is being offered a backroom position at Manchester United, a move that has sparked speculation about his return.
47-year-old van Nistelrooy is a top contender for Burnley’s next manager, alongside West Bromwich Albion’s Carlos Corberan, Frank Lampard, and Scott Parker, adding further interest to his potential return to Manchester.
Manchester United has formally approached van Nistelrooy to join Ten Hag’s “new staff” at Old Trafford, according to football journalist Fabrizio Romano.
Van Nistelrooy, a prolific goal scorer, spent five seasons at United from 2001 to 2006, showcasing his skill and enjoyment during his tenure under Sir Alex Ferguson.
