Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is under immense pressure as the team struggles, sitting 14th in the Premier League and facing a must-win match against Aston Villa. Speculation surrounds his future, with potential replacements like Gareth Southgate and Thomas Tuchel being discussed, while former striker Ruud van Nistelrooy's return to the coaching staff raises eyebrows. Dwight Yorke has questioned the motives behind Van Nistelrooy's appointment as an assistant coach, suggesting it could be a contingency plan if Ten Hag is dismissed. Van Nistelrooy, who previously managed PSV, is reportedly hesitant to take over as interim manager, wishing to avoid appearing opportunistic. The upcoming match could significantly impact both Ten Hag's and Van Nistelrooy's futures at the club. Meanwhile, Van Nistelrooy's passionate reaction during a recent match has garnered attention, with fans noting his enthusiasm compared to Ten Hag's demeanor.
