Ruud van Nistelrooy is confirmed as interim manager for manchester united

Club legend Ruud van Nistelrooy will take over at Old Trafford on an interim basis, while Brentford's Thomas Frank, Sporting Lisbon's Ruben Amorim, Borussia Dortmund's Edin Terzic and ex-Barcelona boss Xavi have been linked with the role permanently.

Club posted 'Ruud van Nistelrooy will take charge of the team as interim head coach, supported by the current coaching team, whilst a permanent head coach is recruited.'

With three wins, two draws, and four losses from their first nine games of the season, Manchester United's 2-1 setback to West Ham on Sunday proved to be the last straw for the team's management.

When Casemiro equalized in the 81st minute to negate Crysencio Summerville's goal at the London Stadium, he appeared to have at least salvaged a point, but Jarrod Bowen's contentious stoppage-time penalty condemned Ten Hag to yet another heartbreaking loss.
