ESPN: "Van Nistelrooy acts like Manchester United’s manage. He has an aura about him"

There would be no surprise within Manchester United if Ruud van Nistelrooy were appointed as the club's head coach.

Earlier this summer, the 48-year-old Dutchman joined United’s backroom staff as an assistant to Erik ten Hag.

"Ruud looks like a manager, and he acts like one too, He has one-on-one meetings with players and there is certainly an aura about him. Nobody will say it, but if he became manager at United, nobody would be surprised." ESPN reports, citing a source.

Manchester United currently sit 14th in the Premier League table with just eight points.
