LOS ANGELES -- For most clubs, the summer transfer window is about refreshing the playing squad. For Manchester United, it's also been about clearing out manager Erik ten Hag's coaching staff and pretty much starting again.
Aside from bringing back one of the greatest goal scorers the club has ever seen, most noteworthy about the changes is that the new arrivals are not really backroom staff at all.
New assistant manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, who scored 150 goals for United between 2001 and 2006, was boss of PSV Eindhoven from 2022 to 2023.
