Ruud van Nistelrooy denies interest in replacing Erik ten Hag at Manchester United

Ruud van Nistelrooy has no intention to replace Erik ten Hag at Man United


Manchester United assistant manager Ruud van Nistelrooy has no intention to take the job of Erik ten Hag and he is backing his compatriot, according to GiveMeSport.

The Red Devils manager Ten Hag has come under severe critcism again this season after his team’s poor performances.

In the six Premier League matches they have played so far this season, they have tasted defeat three times.

Home defeats against Liverpool and Tottenham have upset the fans and speculation has started about the future of Ten Hag.

The Dutch manager was backed heavily this summer with reinforcements to the squad but nothing has improved so far at Old Trafford.

Ten Hag has the backing of both Van Nistelrooy and the club’s other assistant manager Rene Hake, as per the report.

The former Ajax manager is calm about his future at the Premier League club and feels he is the right man to take the club forward and make them successful again.

Only time will tell if Ten Hag can guide the club back to the glory days of the past but for that, he needs to start winning matches and build an identity of their playing style.

He has made a lot of signings since his arrival at the club and most of them have not worked well.

The likes of Antony, Casemiro, Mason Mount, Andre Onana and others have all come under scrutiny for their poor performances.
