Ruud van Nistelrooy says his “absolute goal” is to remain part of Manchester United’s coaching staff after he finishes his stint as interim manager.

The former striker was put in temporary charge on Monday after the Old Trafford hierarchy unanimously decided to sack Erik ten Hag following a poor start to his third season in charge.
