Ruud van Nistelrooy has revealed Erik ten Hag’s reaction to his Manchester United sacking.
Ten Hag was sacked on Monday, mere months after being rewarded with a new contract, after overseeing the club’s worst start to a Premier League season since the previous campaign.
Van Nistelrooy has stepped up from his role as assistant manager to take interim charge of the club, while talks with Ruben Amorim over the managerial vacancy continue, and recorded a 5-2 win over a weakened Leicester City side in his first game.
“I’ve seen him Monday here and I’ve spoken to him yesterday before the game,” he told reporters on Thursday. “Obviously, [he is] very disappointed and touched because he really cared for the club.
