He should fit in . He has a history of getting battered
Someone answered already the difference between a coach and a manager
At the end of the day, no one knows but I'm sure he can add value
Sure, but Ruud was one of the very best. And a United legend. I am sure that the players will listen very closely to what he tells
Still completely irrelevant to watching videos of Nistelrooy scoring goals.
He surely brings the gravitas with him, that was the point. Who would not love to listen to Henry, RVP, Ronaldo, how to score goals
So do they not listen closely to the rest of the staff?
He annoys me so much. Swearing at points for absolutely no effect other than to swear. I mean I'm Scottish ergo I love swearing, but it's a bit much from him for even me
No
We've become full Dutch wankers. And it's not like Dutch football is doing anything in Europe either, last team was ETH's Ajax that got knocked out by Spurs.
National team is also uninspiring, our players will have to learn Dutch soon.

Listening, no matter how closely, doesn't guarantee that 'communication' has been established. Understanding is also required and maybe the issue with some players.
Personal ego's, or personal advisors, may be blocking communication.
Why is the assumption always that communication is a player problem and not a manager/coach problem (or both)?
Good point, a poorly expressed message may also hinder the understanding that is required for ‘communication‘ to occur.
I have read comments to the effect that ETH hasn’t been able to get the players on board with his system. If the audience isn’t able to understand the message the means of communication might be to blame.
Could this explain the talk about the changes to the couching staff. A multi pronged approach for the future!
I’ve never met Ruud but from everything I know about him, he fits that bill perfectly.
A few years ago I watched Ruud at Oxford Union. He’s very articulate and thoughtful. Andrew know from his playing days he tough as nails. And how he handled Keown was legendary. There’s no better man on the planet than Ruud to mentor Rasmus.
Ok, maybe it wasn’t a one-off?
I pity the young kid in a coffee shop who gets his order wrong! “I said xxxxing latte, you useless xxxxing xxxx!”

Hopefully he'll give Marcus the kick up the ass he needs if he doesn't get sold.
A Dutch Nigel Pearson?
Good times coming.
Good times coming.
i hope we do better that last season as we were poor so come on Man Utd
i hope we keep Rashford as he's a brilliant player with alot of potential
Rashford already feelings strain in his hammies.Ok, maybe it wasn’t a one-off?

Doesn’t strike me as the kind of man who coddles players.

Who is Rene Hake and is he going to win us the Champions League yes or no
Not next season he’s not
Oh, I agree. It's just that the idea that they don't listen to our staff but will listen to Ruud that I find a little funny.
So they don't respect their manager and their coaches, but they'll respect Van Nistelrooy because he was a good player?
I'm struggling with this one.
Potential? He's supposed to be in his peak years.
I know nothing about this guy apart from the fact he can dish out a bollocking, but is he actually a good coach?
You wont be laughing once even Hojlund and Rashy start to score from headers
I was looking through some of his previous games with his G.A Eagles team and his teams seem to create lots of chances and dominate in that regard.
Looking forward to him showing Rashford videos of the left winger of Go Ahead Eagles.
If the manager stays on after a season like that, the next best thing, managing wise, is getting some new coaches in, so I am in full support of this move.
Shame he liked showing off Little Marc too much
It would be nice to see some vids of that new angry coach actually motivating his players
Both of them already score from headers
How are we becoming even more dutch?
I wouldn't say becoming "more Dutch" is necessarily a bad thing.
They have a great football ideology and system, however it is another question how these methods can be implimented at Premier League, which is a totally different beast.
Safe to say that some of it worked during ETH first season, however nothing seemed to work the previous season (besides integrating some talented youth into the senior squad, which is a very Dutch thing to do.
In any case, bringin in new coaches may add some necessary extra brainpower and support in regards to pulling the right strings when it comes to coaching and actual game management. If nothing changes or improves, good riddance. But so far, with keeping ETH, I think bringing in Ruud and Hake is a cool move!
It would be 3 head coach level people. Seems worrying because we know our players respond to proper coaching by going into their shells and getting managers sacked.
