Schmeichel: Van Nistelrooy could be the key for Man Utd this season according to Ansar Sadiq

Van Nistelrooy, who was a club legend during his playing days, joined as Erik ten Hag's assistant this summer.

Schmeichel told Tipsbladet: “He is a fantastic talent. The possibilities that lie within him are at the highest level and he can pull himself into that conversation. 

“Ruud van Nistelrooy is back at the club and I spoke to him briefly. He says there is so much potential in him. 

“If he can help him… It’s not just Rasmus! The team is not playing with him in the right way, so there are some things that need to be corrected.”
