Manchester United's legendary goalscorer Ruud van Nistelrooy returned to the club this summer, replacing the outgoing Van der Gaag and McClaren as Ten Hag's first assistant manager. He may not be a striker coach, but one of his major tasks is to take a Manchester United striker to the next level.

The 48-year-old has scored 150 goals in five years with the Red Devils and is believed to have a positive impact on attacking players such as strikers Hojlund and Zilkze. While he also focuses on defence, the club said the club wants him to focus on improving the movement and options of a young player in the final third: 20-year-old Alejandro · Garnacho.

The club believes that Argentina's "new Cristiano Ronaldo" has more potential to be discovered, and believes that his decision-making and efficiency up front can be improved by Ruud van Nistelrooy's guidance. Manchester United's hierarchy and coaches believe Garnacho's progress is one of the keys if they are to compete for the title.

Garnacho returned to Carrington this week to start training, having scored 10 goals and provided five assists last season, but he was too lonely on the wing and was reviled by team-mate Hojlund. It's like Cristiano Ronaldo, and Ruud van Nistelrooy knows the problems of the Portugal winger in the past, and he has scolded Ronaldo like Hojlund.

The falling out with Cristiano Ronaldo is the reason why Ruud van Nistelrooy was finally sold to Real Madrid by Ferdin. However, the former Netherlands striker revealed that one of the most important qualities he learned from Ferdinh was personal relationships. Ruud van Nistelrooy fell out with Ferdinand after the purge, but after retiring from the sport, he called to apologize and began his coaching career.

Vanney explains: "One of the most important things I learned from working with Sir Bobby · Robson and Lord Ferguson was their relationships with other individuals. Not just a player, but a person. Once you've made that connection, you'll be able to get the most out of others. You can help them do their best, and I've never forgotten that idea. Sometimes you need to be tough with them, and sometimes you need to hug them. It's important to have the right match, but always be honest and honest."

He added, "You have the knowledge of the game, you know what it takes to be at the top, you have to share it with them. As a coach, you're just trying to help the players achieve their goals. It's a very proud thing when you see young players growing."

In addition to Lord Ferguson and Sir Robson, Ruud van Nistelrooy also has a lot of respect for former Malaga boss Manuel Pellegrini. Pegon helped him understand that bench players can still have an impact on a team. It is reported that it was the same manager, who later coached Manchester City's rivals Manchester City, who pushed Ruud van Nistelrooy to become a coach, and he never wanted to coach when he was a player.

"He said to me, listen, you don't start most games, you come off the bench. Now it's important that you take care of the young players," Ruud van Nistelrooy recalled, "It was my last season as a player, in Málaga and Pellegrini said I wasn't a regular starter. At first, it was hard to accept, I was a player, not a coach and I wanted to play. But eventually, he made me change my mind and start thinking about how I could help my teammates. Off the pitch, I can give them some advice on how to create a lifestyle that benefits them as players."

Ruud van Nistelrooy added: "On the pitch I can help them improve. There were a lot of young attackers in Malaga at that time. Salomon · Rondon was 23 years old, Isco was 22 years old, Juanmi was only 19 years old, Samu · Castillejo was even younger, and he later went to Milan. First mentally, then tactically and technically, I can help these little guys. I started building relationships with them, and through talking and training, I realized, hey, I can also be influential. It really got me into the coaching profession and I started working straight on to get my coaching certificate."
