Manchester United have recently made an exciting announcement regarding the appointment of former club legend Ruud van Nistelrooy as one of Erik ten Hag's assistant coaches. This move comes as part of a strategic effort to strengthen the backroom staff, following Ten Hag's contract extension until 2026. Alongside Van Nistelrooy, Rene Hake has also joined the first-team setup in an assistant role.
Sources close to the situation have revealed that work-permit delays temporarily held up the deals for both coaches. Van Nistelrooy, aged 48, boasts an impressive track record, having scored 95 goals in 150 Premier League appearances for Manchester United from 2001 to 2006. Notably, he remains the club's most prolific scorer in European competition.
