Ruud van Nistelrooy in line to become latest ex-Man Utd player to step into management

Ruud van Nistelrooy could be the latest former Manchester United player to step into management as the Dutchman is the frontrunner to land the PSV Eindhoven job.

The 45-year-old ex-striker is currently the manager of the club's reserve side Jong PSV, but has been widely tipped to take up the reins for the first team from Roger Schmidt when he leaves at the end of the current campaign. Van Nistelrooy represented PSV as a player prior to joining United in a £19million transfer, where he arguably enjoyed the peak years of his career.

After spells at Real Madrid, Hamburg and Malaga, van Nistelrooy moved into coaching following his retirement, first as an assistant for Netherlands' national team, before joining PSV's youth set-up with their under-17 side and then their under-19s.
