Man Utd are looking to hire Go Ahead Eagles head coach Rene Hake in a bid to boost Erik ten Hag’s staff at Old Trafford, according to reports. Ten Hag was told at a summit in Ibiza earlier this summer that the Red Devils hierarchy wanted him to remain at the club and lead the new era under Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS. A terrible eighth-placed finish led to rumours that Ten Hag could lose his job with Man Utd also dumped out of Europe before Christmas after they finished bottom of their Champions League group.
However, an unexpected 2-1 victory over arch-rivals Man City in the FA Cup final and a lack of credible replacements meant that Ten Hag will be in the dugout when Man Utd kick-off the 2024/25 season in August. The Red Devils do plan on providing him with a new contract, which is reportedly close to being signed, and new staff to provide extra support next season. Former Man Utd striker Ruud van Nistelrooy has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford as an assistant manager despite links to Burnley.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano recently claimed: “What I’m hearing is that Ruud van Nistelrooy is very tempted by this possibility to go back to Manchester United. “He’s still keeping his options open, but in the last 24 – 48 hours, Van Nistelrooy is really tempted ..
. to make this new experience as assistant coach. So I think there’s a very good possibility.
