Eric ten Hag walked and still walks on thin ice, but it won’t break under him, at least not this summer. At one point, towards the end of the previous season, it seemed that Sir Jim Ratcliffe would fire him and look for a new coach, but in the end the Dutchman made the cut. Ten Hag lifted the FA Cup trophy and stayed at Old Trafford. Whether this was because there was no better solution or because Manchester United decided to give him another chance to convince them that he was the right one, probably only Ratcliffe knows. Anyway, the 54-year-old manager is not changing his address, but he is aware that some things have to change. He saw he needed help and decided to bring a well-known name to the Theater of Dreams – Ruud van Nistelrooy.Welcome back home Ruud van Nistelrooy ❤️ pic.twitter.com/wo9VQ5N6ZW— UtdTruthful (@Utdtruthful) June 27, 2024 The former Man United forward has been without a job for a year since he left PSV at the end of May, ahead of the last round of the Eredivisie. At that time, the club from Philips Stadium was second, which was a big surprise for everyone in the Netherlands. However, today in Eindhoven, they have no regrets because his successor, Peter Bosz, led them to the title.When Manchester sack you, prove them wrongThe Dutchman was linked with Burnley in the previous weeks and was seen as a replacement for Vincent Kompany, who moved to Bayern. Nevertheless, he will eventually end up at Old Trafford as an assistant rather than a first manager, although that is a step-down. The final agreement is yet to come, but everything indicates that van Nistelrooy will accept ten Hag’s invitation, join his coaching staff at Manchester United and return to the place where he won four trophies and was the player of the year.Erik Ten Hag – Head Coach Ruud Van Nistelrooy – Assistant Coach Renè Hake – Assistant Coach Dutch Excellence at United 🇳🇱 pic.twitter.com/7NNkpT3jnx— 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐫 (@UtdEra_) June 27, 2024 The icon of Dutch football should be one assistant, and another Dutchman – René Hake – the other one. It’s no wonder ten Hag decided to invite the Go Ahead Eagles coach since the two know each other from their time at Twente. Apart from that, Hake had some exceptional results with the small club from the city of Deventer. The connection exists, and Manchester United will only have to spend a few hundred thousand euros, as per Dutch media. All in all, Man Utd gaffer will arm himself with a different type of ammunition compared to previous seasons in order to dodge a bullet at the Theater of Dreams and try to lift the struggling English giant.##NAJAVA_MECA_8185818##
