'Erik ten Hag was the problem!' - Man Utd 'made a mistake' by letting 'coaching genius' Ruud van Nistelrooy leave after convincing win in first game with Leicester

Van Nistelrooy was briefly United's interim boss following the sacking of manager Erik ten Hag, with the former striker winning three out of his four games in the dugout. Soon after exiting Old Trafford, due to new head coach Ruben Amorim's arrival, the Red Devils icon took up the vacant post at Leicester. On Tuesday, he led the Foxes to a 3-1 Premier League win over West Ham. and now football fans have praised the 48-year-old, while some have trashed Ten Hag in the process on social media.

@UTD_Merchant wrote on X: "How on EARTH did Ten Hag lose to this West Ham side?"

@unekujosh tweeted: "Ten Hag was the problem. Look at what Ruud is doing to West Ham on his first game."

@IamPrinceSanya2 commented: "Ruud van Nistelrooy on the verge of his first @premierleague win. When I told Man UTD fans they made a mistake to let him go, they told me to stfu....let's wait."

@abdul__azeem19 put: "Ruud is starting to rock my world #LCFC" and @Deji_mide added: "Ruud best coach after Pep."

Finally, @TweetFootballPL stated: "LEICESTER ARE 3-0 UP OH MY GOD RUUD VAN NISTELROOY IS A COACHING GENIUS."

While it is very early days, Van Nistelrooy and Amorim have enjoyed a great start at Leicester and United respectively. But the Foxes are close to the relegation zone and the Red Devils are down in ninth after a poor start to the season under Ten Hag. It remains to be seen if both clubs made the right move in appointing these two coaches.

Van Nistelrooy's Leicester, who are up to 15th with the win, host high-flying Brighton on Sunday afternoon, whereas Amorim's United travel to a rejuvenated Arsenal side on Wednesday night.
