Our hero is back. I can already smell him cook with Rasmus and Zirkzee.
Can’t wait for him to mentor Hojlund and Zirkzee. I was hoping we got an experienced PL striker (maybe not that good quality-wise) to do the mentoring and be a backup to Hojlund, but now that we have RvN we can have two good strikers. Amazing!
I hope he builds winning mentally in the players. Having such a former player in your coaching staff is a blessing for Ten Hag.
Perfect mentor for Hojlund and Zirkzee
Everybody mentioning Højlund and Zirkzee but Rashy, Antony, Amad and Garnacho are also going to benefit massively
Great start to preseason training
This is the best case scenario and exactly what I wanted to happen, though I didn’t expect it. Ten Hag has shown he is a top manager with a winning mentality but we need a refresh of other staff if this is going to succeed.
Seeing Ruud in a Manchester United top again will hit like a crack! Inject it

Are we unveiling coaches now? Will he come out Infront of a packed stadium and run a few training drills whilst fireworks are set off before signing the contract?
A lot of exciting stuff is happening, great to see Ruud back at the club <3
I honestly can’t believe he’s back. I am in my early 30s started watching United 2003 onwards. He was my first hero
What a player!
This guy has a huge chin
