Under the hot sun of the American summer, Ruud van Nistelrooy still works hard every day on the training field with the Manchester United players. The exercises used by the famous Dutch player are mainly defensive and counter-attacking speed. Van Nistelrooy always wants the stars of the "Red Devils" not to be allowed to be negligent for even a second and he is very strict about the players' achievement numbers after each training session.
Sitting on the coaching bench watching Van Nistelrooy and the players practice, the team's new leadership couldn't help but be satisfied. CEO Dan Ashworth, Technical Director Jason Wilcox and Sir Dave Brailsford share the same opinion that Van Nistelrooy is radiating very positive energy. The former striker scored 150 goals/219 matches for Man United in the past as a master of the striker position and he received a lot of respect from The Red Devils stars.
When appointing Ruud van Nistelrooy to the coaching staff, captain Erik ten Hag considered his compatriot to be the main force on the training field next season. His students are very eager to return to the Champions League and the person who is guiding them has 35 goals in the "Red Devils" shirt on this playground (still a record for Man United).
"I feel like everything is good now, no problems at all" - Van Nistelrooy answered briefly when asked about his feelings in the first days of returning to Manchester United in his new position.
In 2002, when he signed a contract as a trainee goalkeeper for Man United , Tom Heaton had the opportunity to interact with Van Nistelrooy. At that time, Van Gol was the top star at Old Trafford. Now, Heaton is still a MU player and Van Nistelrooy is the assistant head coach.
"In those days, Van Nistelrooy and I often practiced together. He really liked kicking the ball into the goal I was catching. Everything with Van Nistelrooy was excellent, his level with the ball was excellent.
A few days ago, he told me he had never thought of becoming a coach before. In the last days of his football career, while playing for Malaga (2011-2012 season), Van Nistelrooy was trained by Manuel Pellegrini as a coach. As a result, the players really like it. Even in defensive exercises, he has a very good way of coaching" - Tom Heaton shared.
Last season, Man United only scored 57 goals in the Premier League, 26 of which were contributed by strikers including Marcus Rashford, Rasmus Hojlund, Antony, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho and Amad Diallo, which is quite a proportion. bad. With a former super striker like Van Nistelrooy, Ten Hag is hoping the attackers' finishing ability will improve.
"Van Nistelrooy's return to the team is truly wonderful. Before, I was a big fan of him. When I was a young player, I once saw Van Nistelrooy play live. Later, when he preparing to leave Man United , I had the opportunity to practice with him for a few sessions" - Jonny Evans shared.
