As for the managerial situation at Manchester United, after a long wait, INEOS has decided to put their trust in Erik ten Hague, momentarily dispelling all rumors about the biggest job in English football.
However, the managerial market still piques the interest of United fans thanks to the club’s former stars and managers being linked with multiple roles across Europe.
Wayne Rooney has been given the managerial job at Plymouth Argyle, Michael Carrick has been awarded a new contract at Middlesbrough and Jose Mourinho has moved to Turkey to manage Fenerbahçe.
Now it’s Ruud van Nistelrooy’s turn to hit the headlines, with the former Red Devil attracting serious interest from Burnley.
The Clarets are on the hunt for a new manager following Vincent Kompany’s decision to join Bayern Munich this summer.
According to Dutch publication De Telegraaf, Nistelrooy is the ‘big favourite’ to succeed Kompany and is closing in on a deal with Burnley.
Recently relegated, they are keen on a quick return to the Premier League. To achieve their goal, they want to bring in a big name, who is capable of implementing a distinctive style of play at Turf Moor.
The former United striker has previously shown he is capable of doing just that, impressing many by turning PSV into one of the most attacking sides in Europe during his short spell as head coach in Eindhoven. In his first season, he won two domestic trophies.
Nistelrooy left earlier than expected due to internal disagreements, but the foundation he laid during the 2022-23 campaign helped PSV win the Eredivisie title last season.
In their aforementioned report, the Dutch outlet added that Van Nistelrooy wants to work in a competition where he has already shown his talent as a goalscorer and is familiar with its culture.
On that note, a move to Burnley has the potential to tick many boxes for the 47-year-old.
At the end of May, The People’s Person relayed a report claiming Leicester City are also tracking Nistelrooy. However, the Foxes have now confirmed the appointment of Steve Cooper as the new manager.
