BREAKING NEWS: Palace & Leicester warned against hiring former Man Utd manager

It probably won’t come as a surprise to many that Ruud van Nistelrooy has been linked with a number of top positions in the Premier League.

   The Dutchman is now looking for a new role after his short spell as interim manager of Manchester United came to an end.

   Van Nistelrooy caught the eye after taking over from Erik ten Hag, warming up to Ruben Amorim with three wins and a draw in four games.

   United have scored 11 goals in four leading games;    two more than they managed in Ten Haga’s last eight games.

   PL clubs warned against hiring Ruud van Nistelrooy

   Van Nistelrooy’s job is now linked to West Ham United, who are struggling with the summer arrival of Julen Lopetegui.

   Meanwhile, relegation battlers Wolves, Southampton and Crystal Palace are among those rumored to be considering new managers.    The likes of Steve Cooper and Sean Dyche are just one small escape from the massive pressure from Leicester and Everton respectively.

   However, former Palace chairman Simon Jordan has warned Premier League clubs against selecting Van Nistelrooy – who won the KNVB Cup and Johan Cruyff Shield titles during 51 games in charge of PSV Eindhoven.

   “If you are Wolves, Palace, Southampton or Leicester and you decide to change manager, would you look at Ruud van Nistelrooy or David Moyes?”    Jordan said (via TBR).

   “I couldn’t see any of those clubs realistically going the way of Ruud van Nistelrooy.”

   Jordan went on to explain: “I don’t think he did anything at Man Utd. Three or four games, two of them against Leicester? Against PAOK, in the Europa League? Come on, let me go.

   “I don’t think anyone in the Premier League who is in serious trouble is going to turn around and say, ‘You’ve managed to get this [Man United team] to a decent game [so you deserve a chance at another club].”
