Man United Legend Approached To Be Part Of Ten Hag’s Backroom Staff

Manchester United have made an approach to bring in former star Ruud van Nistelrooy.

The coach has been without a job for more than a year after quitting his manager’s job at PSV Eindhoven.

Van Nistelrooy has plenty of experience as a coach and worked his way up at PSV.

Now he has been approached to join Erik ten Hag’s coaching team, according to Italian journalist and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, via the Sun.

However he is also wanted by Burnley to replace Vincent Kompany, who took over at Bayern Munich last month.

Van Nistelrooy was hailed for his playing style during a 12-month spell at PSV, bringing through stars such as Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo and Chelsea’s Noni Madueke.

He won the Dutch Cup last year and finished second in Eredivisie behind Feyenoord.

The former striker also acted as assistant boss to Guus Hiddink at the 2014 World Cup.

Van Nistelrooy made 219 appearances for the Red Devils between 2001 and 2006.
