I don’t know if you saw the news, but the UK voted to leave the EU, meaning that non-UK citizens need some type of visa to work in the UK (and vice versa).

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) get the depressing job of reviewing United's 3-0 loss at Old Trafford to Liverpool. They discuss what went wrong, Casemiro's day to forget, and the pressure now on Erik Ten Hag. They also take some time to give McTominay a proper farewell, and give their overall thoughts on the Summer Transfer Window.

Mcclaren, Walter smith, Brian Kidd etc. people are reading too much into it. Ruud has already said that he didn’t feel ready.
Hes from eu
It’ll be so nice to have him back at the club.
There’s no question that we were brilliant in the FA Cup final. But we struggled far too often last season, particularly against lesser clubs. Under this and previous managers we’ve become game raisers rather than club ms which smash the likes of Wolves and Palace.
Ruud would be an excellent manager for us, should circumstances make that necessary.
Under what evidence? I’m not saying he won’t be but we can’t say he will be either.
So the Dutch emphasis continues. EtH kept, Ruud signed and De Ligt maybe joining
In what basis will he be an excellent manager for United? Based on his 1 experience at PSV where he walked away with mutual agreement and he felt he wasn’t ready? One where the PSV fans will tell you that there was no style showing
I’m a Ruud fan but jeeze use your heads. Having him as the next manager?
Just wait til SJR hires LvG as Director of Philosophy
Or a Director of End of the Season Galas.
Which is good, isn’t it?
Hope Ruud can be a more adequate assistant to ETH than the previous two were.
Think it helps that he knows the club well. And the players should thrive from having a legend around the place.
Get in !!!
Beautiful news! 
Well he certainly won't be a yes man which is a good thing as long as they are respectful of eachother.
@We need an rvn Congrats
Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuud
I’d much rather we had actually signed a replica-type-ruud-esq as a striker this summer - but the thought of seeing Ruud back at OT does bring a massive smile to my face - super happy tonight!
I’m trying not to be blinded by nostalgia, but feck yeah
With our goalscoring woes, would he mind being registered as a player too.
The Dutch are winning the Euros
I mean ... We could make a lot worse appointments for that role.
For him to take this after turning down offers to be a manager does suggest he has been told off Erik is sacked at any point he's taking over.
There could be some problems in my opinion.
He's obviously better looking than some of our players and coaches so this could cause tension and sexual advances made by our staff towards him could result in divorces and lawsuits. INEOS will have their work cut out.
Not forgetting the fans who have an unhealthy obsession with horses.
If the Southgate rumours are true, INEOS seem intent on building up a stable of talent..
Bring Weghorse back!
Why? Why do people keep saying this? He’s had one short lived manager gig before, left by mutual consent, and says himself that he wasn’t ready for it. Why do people think he’s going to take over from ETH?
That one gig is also fondly remembered by pretty much no-one. If this is United's plan, then Ineos is nuts. He probably just likes the idea of getting back into the action straight at the very highest level while staying in the shadows (a bit, anyway) and being able to observe Ten Hag.Why?

Actually delighted that Ruud is back. One of my favourites growing up, hopefully he'll teach the strikers one thing or two about scoring.
Is Phelan still at the club?
We have a special @horsechoker for this very occasion. No worries
Long gone
He keeps arriving at Carrington each morning but the security aren't letting him into the complex.
I've heard he's threatening to put out some cones In the parking lot.
Thanks, the last bit of news that I read was that all the coaching staff under Ole had left except for him.
Great to have him back. I'm a bit of a history buff so I know that he was once a player here. Played here for some seasons, scored some goals.
Shame yourself.
