Van Nistelrooy could take over at Man United if Ten Hag is sacked

Former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy could potentially take charge of the Red Devils if current head coach Erik ten Hag is dismissed.

Currently, van Nistelrooy holds the position of assistant coach at Manchester United.

According to ESPN, ten Hag will retain his position following the 3-0 defeat to Tottenham, but the pressure on him will significantly increase before the upcoming matches against Porto and Aston Villa. The Manchester United hierarchy reportedly wants to see an improvement in the situation but is not looking to make any hasty decisions.

Manchester United currently sits 12th in the Premier League table with seven points.
