Erik ten Hag remains in charge at Manchester United but Van Nistelrooy is emerging as a possible replacement should Ineos and Sir Jim Ratcliffe make a change
Ruud van Nistelrooy is often seen in the technical area on the shoulder of Erik ten Hag. The Manchester United manager might be looking over his.
He spent just a sole season in charge of PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands, finishing second in 2023. But his side took four points off eventual champions Feyenoord and did the double over fierce rivals Ajax. Indeed, that Feyenoord side were led by current Liverpool chief Arne Slot. Van Nistelrooy is certainly capable of adapting. When he took over at PSV, there was a summer exodus of talent, an early exit from the Champions League qualifiers and four league defeats by November. But there would be just one more after that and the campaign ended with a penalty shootout success over old foes Ajax in the domestic cup final.
"It was a fantastic process, though, because I learned a lot through analysing the squad, analysing individual players, talking a lot with the coaching staff about how to get the maximum out of the players. Is it the high press, is it a mid-block, is it counterattacking or sustained attacks in the final third? And, of course, it varies per game.
