Ruud van Nistelrooy is reportedly on the radar of a new club after being sent packing by Manchester United this week.
After being brutally axed by Manchester United, club legend Ruud van Nistelrooy could make a swift return to management.
Van Nistelrooy was Erik ten Hag's assistant at United from the start of the season until the Dutch tactician was fired in October.
The former Red Devils striker then took charge of the club on an interim basis, leading them to 3 wins and a draw after four games.

Quick managerial return for Van Nistelrooy?
According to the Sun, Championship side Burnley are interested in bringing Van Nistelrooy to Turf Moor, despite his decision to turn down the job in the summer.
Burnley went on to appoint Scott Parker, and the former Bournemouth boss has struggled in recent weeks, prompting calls for his sack.
Burnley are fourth in the standings but have won just two of their last 8 games, and should the slide continue, Van Nistelrooy is expected to be sounded out as a replacement.
Van Nistelrooy was let go by United after new manager Ruben Amorim chose to work with his own staff.
