Those who know Ruud van Nistelrooy say the former striker is 'driven', 'strong-willed' and 'full of self-belief'.
Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag and temporarily replaced him with his assistant Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Meulensteen was overseeing United's reserves in 2005 when, after successful one-on-one work with the Red Devils' Uruguay forward Diego Forlan, he was sought out by Van Nistelrooy. Instead he took a year out to learn from other coaches around the world at clubs such as Spanish giants Real Madrid and Argentine powerhouses Boca Juniors and River Plate.
"At Man Utd, it's probably more vital than at any other club in England that you know the culture of the club, of the area, and Ruud does."So, what can United fans expect from a Van Nistelrooy-led side? Although Van Nistelrooy won two trophies and secured Champions League qualification in his debut season, he resigned with one game left of the campaign.
