Ruud Van Nistelrooy: Ruud Van Nistelrooy faced the media for the first team since being appointed head coach of Leicester City ahead of the side’s first game under his leadership. The 48-year-old reflected on his short unbeaten stint as interim manager of Manchester United.
"It was a good period. It was short and intense but I was happy to help and steady the ship. They're on a good run of results on top of those four games so that's great to see. I really enjoyed, being responsible, creating a connection with the team and the supporters, and being able to turn the momentum for the club a little bit. That is our job and that felt great to do. Now I'm in this position to do it again,” said Nistelrooy in the press conference.
Nistelrooy joined Manchester United’s coaching staff as an assistant coach to Erik Ten Hag in June 2024 and was later appointed the interim head coach after the sacking of Ten Hag. Under his tenure, the team went unbeaten in four games, a solid achievement given they were sitting in 14th place at the time of Ten Hag’s departure, with three wins and one draw.
