Legendary Dutch striker Ruud van Nistelrooy is joining Manchester United. The Dutchman was expected to take over as Burnley manager, but will join Eric ten Haag's squad and play the entire United schedule next season.

European transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano exclusively reported on his private channel on Wednesday (June 23), "Van Nistelrooy will join Van Gaal's new coaching staff. Van Nistelrooy was set to take over from Vincent Kompany at Burnley, but will now join the Manchester United coaching staff. An official announcement will be made next week."

Van Nistelrooy is a legendary Dutch striker. He played for PSV Eindhoven from 1998 to 2001 before being discovered by Sir Alex Ferguson and playing for Manchester United until 2006. He had a pretty strong record in the Premier League and spent a year with Park Ji-Sung, who joined the club in 2005. He went on to play for Real Madrid, Hamburg, and Malaga before hanging up his cleats to pursue a career in coaching.

He has coached at PSV Eindhoven and the Dutch national team. Most recently, he coached PSV Eindhoven for one 토토사이트 season before being linked with Championship side Burnley ahead of the 2024-25 season. Burnley came up to the Premier League under former Manchester City legend Vincent Kompany, but failed to stay up, and will be looking for promotion from the Championship again this season.

Burnley were the favorites for the job, but according to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United have been linked. He could join Van Gaal's squad after dramatically staying on after being on the brink of dismissal last season. Owner Jim Ratcliffe and the Ineos Group decided to keep Ten Haag after a full review last season, but did not give him full control. They changed his title from 'manager' to 'head coach' and asked him to focus solely on his tactical skills.

After his decision to stay at Manchester United, Ten Haag said: "They came to me out of the blue last week and said they wanted to stay. It was no secret that Manchester United were in contact with candidates, and they came to Ibiza to talk to me in person. We discussed various topics and decided to continue the contract."
