Ronaldo Calls for Van Nistelrooy’s Crucial Role in United Rebuild
Cristiano Ronaldo has highlighted the potential significance of Ruud van Nistelrooy in helping Erik ten Hag turn Manchester United’s fortunes around. The former Real Madrid star, who endured a tumultuous second stint at Old Trafford, feels the Dutch striker’s connection to the club and know-how could be invaluable.
Under Ten Hag, the Red Devils have continued their decline since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement, and the 37-year-old seems convinced that the current managerial set-up is missing a crucial aspect. Ronaldo, who now plies his trade for Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr, spoke about the need for club legends to share their experience and wisdom with the present squad.
"Van Nistelrooy was an incredible player for us, and his understanding of the club is immense. If Ten Hag listens to him, maybe he can help," Ronaldo said.
Van Nistelrooy, who joined Manchester United in 2001, scored 150 goals in 300 appearances before leaving for Real Madrid. The 46-year-old has recently joined the Old Trafford coaching staff, fueling speculation about his involvement in the team’s affairs.
Ronaldo, also drawing parallels with his first stint at the club during Sir Alex Ferguson’s regime, emphasized the importance of tapping into the knowledge of men like Gary Neville, Rio Ferdinand, and Roy Keane.
"You cannot, you cannot rebuild a club without knowledge," he opined.
It remains to be seen whether Van Nistelrooy can play a significant role in Manchester United’s revival. Amid the uncertainty, Ronaldo, with his own managerial ambitions, may be positioning himself as a potential candidate to steer the club forward.
