Former Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo has named Ruud van Nistelrooy as a key figure in helping Erik ten Hag rebuild the club amid ongoing struggles.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last ten years, it’s now very clear that Man Utd are a shadow of the power that existed during Sir Alex Ferguson’s time, with the Red Devils going back a long way since the Scottish tactician retired. in 2013.
Ronaldo played under Ferguson in his first spell at United before returning to Old Trafford for a second spell in the summer of 2021, where he made his debut under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Solskjaer was sacked that season, with Ralf Rangnick stepping in as interim manager before current manager Ten Hag takes over in the summer of 2022.
Ronaldo says Ten Hag needs to listen to Van Nistelrooy
Things did not go well for Ronaldo under Ten Hag, he left the club after that, and now he has been quoted by Fabrizio Romano discussing MUFC’s problems again.
Watch below as Ronaldo clearly feels that Ten Hag needs to learn from his assistant Van Nistelrooy, who recently joined the coaching staff…
? Cristiano Ronaldo: “If Ten Hag listens to Ruud van Nistelrooy… maybe he can help”.
“He knows the club and the club should listen to the guys who were there”.
“Rio, Roy Keane, Scholes, Gary Neville, Sir Alex Ferguson”.

It will be interesting to see if Van Nistelrooy can end up making a positive impact at United, although it seems that Ronaldo feels they would do well to call upon the talents of other clubs such as Gary Neville, Rio Ferdinand and Roy Keane.
There may be some logic to this, although it’s also worth noting that United’s struggles have continued under former player Solskjaer in charge, with the Norwegian tactician seemingly out of his depth in such a big job, he was unlikely to get it. if he didn’t have that connection with the team from his playing days.
Perhaps Ronaldo is talking himself into a future role as a manager or director at Old Trafford…
