Ruud van Nistelrooy Closing in on Two Man United Players

Ruud van Nistelrooy, the new manager of Leicester City, is reportedly eyeing a January transfer target from his former club, Manchester United.

Van Nistelrooy’s four-month stint as assistant manager at Manchester United likely provided him with valuable knowledge of the team’s strengths and weaknesses, making him well-positioned to identify top talent for a potential transfer.

The likelihood of Ruud van Nistelrooy returning to United for reinforcements after becoming Leicester’s manager was always strong.

As the January transfer window approaches, several young Manchester United players are linked with loan moves.

Ethan Wheatley is attracting interest from multiple clubs, including Wrexham, while Harry Amass is being pursued by several Championship teams. Additionally, Dan Gore and Ethan Ennis are also rumoured to be on the loan list.

Van Nistelrooy has set his sights on capturing a highly touted 20-year-old prodigy, described as “freakish,” – Tobby Collyer to bolster Leicester’s squad at the King Power Stadium.

According to The Sun, Van Nistelrooy is keen to take the midfielder who was highly rated by Erik ten Hag as the “best in the country” to Leicester on loan.

After a dream 3-1 start to life as the Foxes’ boss, now Van Nistelrooy has identified where he needs additions and midfield has come up.

The report claims Van Nistelrooy is planning to use his contacts at Old Trafford to sign Collyer on a loan.

The Dutchman believes United’s starlet could become a key asset in his battle against relegation.

Another key name that Ruud van Nistelrooy could be after would be the highly rated Man United’s academy full-back Harry Amass, who’s one of the many names available on loan in the January transfer window.
