Van Nistelrooy’s immediate challenge as caretaker manager will be to re-evaluate the team structure and optimize player performances after the struggles under Ten Hag.
Casemiro's recent performances raise concerns; despite scoring against West Ham, his escalating struggles to keep pace may lead Van Nistelrooy to bench him.
Joshua Zirkzee, who hasn't scored since the season opener, displayed promising signs coming off the bench, suggesting he might get a starting opportunity.
Considering a tactical shift to a back three could provide Van Nistelrooy with a fresh direction, even without much time for training.
