Martin Keown has reignited his feud with former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy, suggesting that the Dutchman is “waiting” for Erik ten Hag to be sacked.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keown Suggests Van Nistelrooy Is ‘Waiting’ For Ten Hag To Be Sacked<\/h2>\n

Van Nistelrooy, who was brought in as Ten Hag’s<\/a> assistant coach over the summer, has been unable to help improve United’s fortunes.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils have continued to struggle this season, and their recent 3-0 defeat to Tottenham<\/a>\u00a0has raised further questions about Ten Hag’s future.<\/p>\n

Keown, who has a long-standing rivalry with Van Nistelrooy dating back to their playing days, has now accused the Dutchman of not being fully committed to the team.<\/p>\n

Speaking on talkSPORT<\/em>, Keown said, “I’m looking at Van Nistelrooy. Is he giving everything to this manager? This manager looks very lonely on the sideline.”<\/p>\n

The Arsenal legend also questioned whether Van Nistelrooy was hoping to take over from Ten Hag at United. “Is Van Nistelrooy waiting to take over? Because it looks as if there’s going to be change taking place there,” he added.<\/p>\n

Keown’s comments are likely to further fuel the speculation surrounding Ten Hag’s future at Old Trafford. The Red Devils are reportedly willing to give the Dutchman a few more games to turn things around, but if results do not improve, he could be facing the sack.<\/p>\n
