Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho and other defenders stand to gain from Ruud van Nistelrooy’s recent addition to Erik ten Hag’s coaching team. Van Nistelrooy, who was brought on as a new assistant manager, has already made a notable impact behind the scenes, as reported by GIVEMESPORT.
The Dutchman joined the Red Devils’ staff amidst a period of transition following changes in football operations. Although Manchester United has been active in the transfer market, including the £58.9 million acquisition of Leny Yoro from Lille last month, they have also undergone significant structural changes under Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s new management. Van Nistelrooy’s role involves enhancing Garnacho’s performance and improving the team’s defensive strategies.
Sources from GMS indicate that Van Nistelrooy is focused on elevating Garnacho’s game, with Manchester United believing that there is untapped potential in the young Argentine. They hope that his decision-making and productivity in the attacking phase will benefit from the assistant manager’s guidance.
The club’s coaching staff and leadership emphasize the importance of maximizing the winger’s abilities, given his current £50,000-per-week contract at Old Trafford that extends for another four years, as they aim for success in the 2024/25 season.
Interestingly, Van Nistelrooy has also been working with Manchester United’s defenders during their pre-season tour. His attacking insight has been valuable in helping the backline better understand game dynamics and handle challenging situations.
