Man Utd legend Ruud van Nistelrooy closing in on new job just weeks after being let go by Ruben Amorim - with Premier League and Bundesliga clubs keen on Dutchman

<p>The Dutchman joined Erik ten Hag's United coaching staff last summer, before taking up an interim manager role at the club following the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/time-finally-runs-out-for-erik-ten-hag-man-utd-set-to-sack-coach-nightmare-start/bltbc78659f6992704c" target="_blank">ex-Ajax boss' sacking</a>. After taking charge of four first-team matches, the former striker <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ruud-van-nistelrooy-gone-ruben-amorim-cutting-erik-ten-hag-staff-man-utd-confirm-club-legend-departure-interim-coach/blt2d0e001d1fce96ad" target="_blank">left his old team</a> for a second time, as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ruben-amorim-new-man-utd-head-coach-red-devils-confirm-appointment-portuguese-boss-start-date-delayed-two-weeks/blt557a09768631c671" target="_blank">Ruben Amorim took over in the dugout</a>. Now, journalist <a href="Man Utd legend Ruud van Nistelrooy closing in on new job just weeks after being let go by Ruben Amorim - with Premier League and Bundesliga clubs keen on Dutchman" target="_blank">Florian Plettenberg</a> claims Bundesliga 2 team Hamburg are considering appointing Van Nistelrooy as their next head coach.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Following the sacking of Steffen Baumgart this weekend, Hamburg are reportedly looking at Van Nistelrooy, who spent one season at the German team as a player. The report adds the 48-year-old has been 'discussed internally' but according to journalist <a href="https://x.com/RudyGaletti/status/1860729158399103307" target="_blank">Rudy Galetti</a>, Leicester City have approached him as well after <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/steve-cooper-sacked-leicester-wield-axe-ex-nottingham-forest-boss/bltbdfb030a7d5e5011" target="_blank">sacking Steve Cooper</a> on Sunday. It seems the ex-Real Madrid forward is a man in demand.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>In Van Nistelrooy's brief tenure as United's interim boss, his side beat Leicester twice, PAOK once, and drew with Chelsea. He enjoyed a brief stint as PSV Eindhoven boss between May 2022 and May 2023, winning the KNVB Cup.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Van Nistelrooy is likely to find out whether he will be offered the Leicester or Hamburg job this week, with both clubs desperate to make quick appointments as they look to turn their seasons around. The Foxes find themselves 16th in the Premier League, just a point away from the relegation zone, while the Germans are eighth in the second tier.</p>
