Interim Manager Ruud van Nistelrooy Calls for Manchester United to Reestablish Winning Habits

Manchester United’s interim manager, Ruud van Nistelrooy, has delivered his initial message to supporters, which was featured in the United Review matchday programme. He conveyed the following: “We’ve seen the squad’s potential at times this season, but clearly not often enough. Now is the time for everyone at the club to work together, give everything and turn this season around while we have time.” He further elaborated on the challenges and opportunities ahead: “It will not be easy, of course. Leicester are Premier League opposition and they will also be highly motivated by the prospect of moving into the quarter-finals. However, every game we play is also an opportunity for us to remind everyone – ourselves included – of what this great club stands for.” Van Nistelrooy also reflected on his return to the club: “When I returned in the summer as Erik’s assistant, it was because I believe that Manchester United can climb back to the levels that I knew here as a player. I still have that belief, but it will take time and a lot of hard work.” He then outlined the immediate objective for the team: “The first step is to restore the winning habit, starting at Old Trafford. I know first-hand the positive effect our wonderful fans can have on the team, so please get behind the players as we fight together to move a step closer to Wembley.” Sandi Toksvig is joined by Gyles Brandreth, Lulu, Emmanuel Sonubi and Alan Davies Grab the mic for Queen, Taylor Swift, Bon Jovi, Katy Perry and more… Ben Fogle and Kate Humble are back for the festivities at Longleat Safari Park From micro plastics in our air, soil, and waterways, to the extent of food waste at this time of year © 2024 BBC.
