Ruud van Nistelrooy made a winning start to life as Manchester United’s interim manager as The Red Devils beat Leicester 5-2 in the EFL Cup.

Ruud van Nistelrooy was full of praise for his Manchester United squad as he kicked off his interim spell as manager with a 5-2 Carabao Cup fourth round win over Leicester at Old Trafford, but singled out two after the game.

In 2022, Van Nistelrooy, 48, got his first crack at coaching a senior team leading PSV following Roger Schmidt's departure. While he signed a three-year contract and began winning the 2022 Johan Cryuff Shield and 2022-23 KNVB Cup, Van Nistelrooy resigned with one match left in the season due to lack of support from management.
