Ruud van Nistelrooy is reportedly on the verge of returning to Premier League management, just weeks after leaving Manchester United.

The 48-year-old, who joined United's coaching staff in the summer alongside fellow assistant Rene Hake, was ushered into the hot seat when Erik ten Hag was sacked last month.

He took charge of four matches across all competitions and stayed unbeaten with three wins and a draw, but new head coach Ruben Amorim decided against handing Van Nistelrooy a place in his backroom staff.

In regards to his interim spell at Old Trafford, the Dutchman picked up two wins over struggling Leicester City, who recently sacked Steve Cooper after a five-month spell in charge at the King Power.

The Foxes have picked up just two victories from 12 league games this season, and have conceded 14 goals in their last five games in all competitions.

Now, they are set to appoint Van Nistelrooy as their next manager, according to The Telegraph, who claim documents are being signed with his camp.

The appointment of a new manager has been led by owner-chair Aiyawatt 'Top' Srivaddhanaprabha and director of football Jon Rudkin.

After his swift exit this month, Van Nistelrooy penned an emotional goodbye letter to United fans.

“I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your incredible efforts and support," he said. "It has been a privilege and honour to represent the club as a player, coach and manager, and I will always cherish the memories we have shared together."

He added: “Man Utd will always have a special place in my heart, and I hope there are many more glory days at Old Trafford very soon - not only because I want the club to do well, but because you all deserve it."
