“As a Former Man United Coach, I Know Where Their Problem is Coming From!” – Leicester Boss Van Nistelrooy Slams United Star as the Biggest Flop He Has Ever Seen—And It’s NOT Zirkzee or Højlund!
Ruud van Nistelrooy, a Manchester United legend turned manager, has never been one to mince his words. But his latest comments about a struggling player at Old Trafford have sent shockwaves through the football world. Now leading Leicester City, the Dutchman brutally criticized a certain United star, claiming he wouldn’t even make the bench at Leicester, let alone start for the Foxes!
“This Player Doesn’t Deserve to Wear the Red Jersey!”
Van Nistelrooy, who spent years as a lethal striker at United under Sir Alex Ferguson, knows exactly what it takes to succeed at the highest level. And in his eyes, this particular player is nowhere near the required standard.
“As a former Manchester United coach, I know where their problem is really coming from,” he said in a scathing interview. “This particular player doesn’t deserve to wear the red jersey. If he was at Leicester, he wouldn’t even make my bench—but somehow, he’s starting for United.”
His words left fans stunned. Many expected him to call out new signings Joshua Zirkzee or Rasmus Højlund, who have faced criticism this season. But Van Nistelrooy made it clear—it’s NOT them. So, who is this player that he considers the biggest flop of his entire coaching career?
The Biggest Flop Van Nistelrooy Has Ever Seen?
While he didn’t reveal the player’s name outright, reports suggest that he could be referring to one of United’s most underperforming senior stars. Could it be Antony, the £85 million winger who has struggled to justify his price tag? Or is it a midfielder failing to command the game?
One thing is clear: Van Nistelrooy’s brutal assessment has put even more pressure on Manchester United’s struggling squad. If a club legend like him believes this player shouldn’t be anywhere near the team, how much longer can Erik ten Hag justify picking him?
