Former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy might make a surprise comeback to the Premier League club.

According to football transfer analyst Fabrizio Romano, Erik ten Hag wants him to join his coaching staff.

Van Nistelrooy is, however, one of the options Burnley is considering to succeed Vincent Kompany as head coach.

Fabrizio Romano tweeted on Sunday: “EXCL: Ruud van Nistelrooy has been approached to be part of Erik ten Hag’s new staff at Manchester United.

“Up to van Nistelrooy as he’s also a strong candidate to be new Burnley manager to replace Kompany, decision next week.

“Changes could take place in #MUFC staff.”
