A Manchester United legend says there is something strange about the Red Devils hiring Ruud van Nistelrooy as Erik ten Hag's assistant.
The Dutch tactician made his return to United last month after reportedly turning down the chance to manage Championship side Burnley.
Former United star Dwight Yorke feels Van Nistelrooy has been brought in to replace Ten Hag if he gets sacked during the upcoming season.

"Something is not quite right about that, in my opinion, because although he's very professional," Yorke told Boylesports.
"I'm sure he'll go in there and do all his due diligence for the manager and work under the manager's regime - but I don't like the bigger picture.
"I've got to be honest. I'd rather sit on the side and be clear in my intention of being a full-time manager.
"I just think the environment is not quite right, even though you're pushing for the team to win and I'm sure that's the case with Ruud.
"But if that doesn't go well, then there is only one person who's going to take the blame and be sacked.
"That is unless Ruud decides to leave if Ten Hag goes, but personally I wouldn't like to be in his position.
"I've seen it with Roy Keane, under Paul Lambert, under the likes of Martin O'Neill as well, it wasn't for Keane to be a number two.
"And I like to think Ruud is similar in that sense, having said that it's such a great opportunity to be at United as it's not easy to turn your back on in any role."
