However, Van Nistelrooy’s short-stint will only last till Sunday’s Premier League clash against Leicester City at home with a new manager set to join the side.
Meanwhile, United players want the former club striker Van Nistelrooy to remain part of the club’s restructured management team. “100%. He’s a very good guy, a very good coach. He has so much experience and he advises us a lot,” Onana told TNT Sports.
“It’s fantastic wwhat he’s doing and the players are happy. But at the end of the day, it’s not something we can decide. The club make the decision and we have to accept it,” he added.
