Ruud van Nistelrooy has been assigned the task of advancing one Manchester United player’s performance in the upcoming season.
Van Nistelrooy, who rejoined United this summer with fellow coach Rene Hake to help revamp Erik ten Hag’s coaching staff, previously scored 150 goals for the club during his five-year stint as a player. He was anticipated to have a positive impact on attacking players such as Rasmus Højlund and Joshua Zirkzee.
Nevertheless, several journalists following the pre-season tour have observed Van Nistelrooy’s considerable influence on defensive training as well. The 48-year-old might be crucial in enhancing the defensive aspects at Old Trafford and is expected to play a major role in refining one player’s performance in the attacking third.
According to GiveMeSport, the new coach is set to elevate Alejandro Garnacho’s game. The club believes that the Argentine has untapped potential and expects his decision-making and efficiency in the final third to improve through work with Van Nistelrooy.
United’s coaching staff and management are firm that maximizing the 20-year-old’s potential is essential for their continued pursuit of trophies.
