Ruud van Nistelrooy is said to be a leading candidate to take over as Man Utd interim manager should Erik ten Hag be sacked

Zirkzee joined Old Trafford from Bologna in a deal worth £36.5million and scored on his league debut against Fulham on the first day of the season. However, injuries have led him to start United's last four games, but the Netherlands international hasn't found the back of the net since.
