There has been a lot of talk over the future of Ruud van Nistelrooy since his Manchester United exit just a couple of weeks ago.

The former striker returned to United in the summer as assistant to Erik ten Hag. The manager’s sacking in October led to van Nistelrooy taking interim charge of the club.

In his four games in charge, United won three and drew one. Two of those wins came against Leicester City - a 5-2 Carabao Cup victory and a 3-0 win in the Premier League.

The appointment of Ruben Amorim led to uncertainty over van Nistelrooy’s future, and it was announced on the new head coach’s first day at the club that he would be leaving. It now seems that van Nistelrooy is set for a quick return to coaching.
