Ruud amazed by all the offers

Ruud van Nistelrooy (above) said he was "astonished" by the number of offers he received as a result of his spell as Manchester United interim manager as he plots how to keep Leicester in the Premier League.

The Dutchman had four games in caretaker charge at Old Trafford - two of them against Leicester - following Erik ten Hag's sacking at the end of October, but left the club when Ruben Amorim arrived last month.

Van Nistelrooy, speaking at his first press conference since replacing the sacked Steve Cooper at the King Power, said offers had poured in.

"What happened after the games and the amount of interest, the options that all of a sudden were there for me and the options that came along, I was a little bit astonished," he said this week.
