Ruud van Nistelrooy talks Burnley… and Manchester United

As negotiations for a contract extension progress between Erik ten Hag and Manchester United, Ruud van Nistelrooy remains a possible recruit. The former PSV coach, free of any contract since his good 2022-2023 season, is in discussions with Burnley to take over from Vincent Kompany, but he also continues the dialogue with Manchester United, his former club when he was a player (2001-2006).

Indeed, according to The Telegraphthe Dutchman could land at the Red Devils to complete Erik ten Hag’s staff, which will be reshuffled in the coming weeks. The Mancunian leaders want their team’s game to be much more attractive next year, with a marked style and identity of play. When he was coach of PSV, Ruud van Nistelrooy was known for his attacking game focused on the front.
