Ruud van Nistelrooy unfazed by threat of criticism from former Man United team-mates who now work as pundits

Ruud van Nistelrooy expects criticism from former Manchester United team-mates on television should he lose his first Premier League game as interim manager to Chelsea on Sunday.

Gary Neville heads a cohort of ex-United stars including Roy Keane and Paul Scholes who now make their living as pundits and have laid into successive Old Trafford managers including Erik ten Hag who was sacked last week.

Van Nistelrooy, who is holding the fort until Ruben Amorim arrives from Portugal, says he's relaxed about his old colleagues offering their opinion.
