Several Manchester United players are excited about the influence Ruud van Nistelrooy is expected to have on the team this season. Van Nistelrooy, who joined as an assistant coach earlier this month, is already making an impression after United’s 2-0 win over Rangers.
Joe Hugill, a young forward, praised Van Nistelrooy’s coaching, saying, “We’ve been doing some shooting drills and getting tips from him. It’s huge for us young players to have him here.”
Goalkeeper Tom Heaton was equally impressed, noting, “He’s the best finisher I’ve ever seen. His attention to detail is outstanding. He’s not just a famous name; he’s deeply involved in coaching.”
Christian Eriksen is confident that Van Nistelrooy will make a positive impact, stating, “I’m sure it’s going to go well.”
Jonny Evans highlighted that Van Nistelrooy’s expertise extends beyond attacking. He mentioned Van Nistelrooy’s time in Spain, learning from defensive coaches, and believes this knowledge will benefit both strikers and defenders.
Van Nistelrooy, who previously managed PSV Eindhoven and guided them to a Dutch Cup, has a deep passion for United. Despite offers from other clubs, he chose to return to Old Trafford. His blend of attacking prowess and defensive insight is set to be a major asset for Manchester United as they aim for success this season.
