Manchester United have sent a message to Ruud van Nistelrooy after he was announced as the new head coach of PSV Eindhoven.
Van Nistelrooy made 219 appearances for United, scoring 150 goals after joining them from PSV in 2001. He would eventually leave Old Trafford in 2006 to join Real Madrid after a falling out with Sir Alex Ferguson.
The former Dutch striker was recently linked with a return to United after reports suggested that the Reds were looking to appoint an ex-player to join the coaching staff at the Theatre of Dreams. Van Nistelrooy's name was mentioned after the Manchester Evening News announced that Erik ten Hag had been interviewed for the vacant managerial post at United.
