Is Ruud van Nistelrooy primed to manage Manchester United? Catch up on Amad's phenomenal performance and Shaw's return!

Ruud van Nistelrooy, the legendary Dutch striker, has made headlines once again as he expresses his desire to step up and manage Manchester United in the future. Currently serving as interim manager with Rúben Amorim soon arriving, Van Nistelrooy emphasised the urgent need for United to score more goals to regain their former glory. Fans and players alike are left wondering if the club's iconic goal scorer could become the architect of their resurgence. It’s an intriguing notion as he reflects on a time when he graced the pitch, netting 150 goals in his five years at the club.

In a thrilling development for Red Devils supporters, United secured their first win of the Europa League campaign, triumphantly overcoming PAOK with a 2-0 victory. The star of the night was undoubtedly Amad Diallo, whose impressive second-half double not only showcased his undeniable talent but also hinted at his potential under the helm of forthcoming coach Amorim. This much-needed victory came after a disappointing seven-game winless streak in European competitions, and it’s clear that Amad has turned heads with his performance.

Meanwhile, Luke Shaw made his much-anticipated return to training, shaking off a calf injury that has sidelined him for nine long weeks. His comeback is a relief for both the fans and the team, as Shaw was a crucial part of the squad prior to his injury. The defence will benefit significantly from his experience and skills, especially with the heightened intensity of upcoming matches. Will his return help bring more stability and confidence to the United backline?

As United marches forward, players are expressing their support for Van Nistelrooy to continue in his interim role. Notably, goalkeeper Andre Onana was vocal about his hopes for Van Nistelrooy to stay on. Meanwhile, Paul Scholes weighed in, suggesting that the legendary striker is too skilled to remain in an assistant role, hinting at a bigger destiny for Van Nistelrooy. With all these changes and developments, fans can anticipate exciting times ahead at Manchester United.

Interesting Fact: Van Nistelrooy's remarkable scoring prowess led him to become one of the club's all-time greats, shining brightly in a golden era for the Red Devils. As for Amad, his two goals against PAOK may just be the catalyst he needs to establish himself as a consistent starter. Keep your eyes peeled for more thrilling twists in the Manchester United saga!
