Arsenal legend, Martin Keown, has claimed that old rival Ruud van Nistelrooy is “waiting” for Manchester United to sack Erik ten Hag.
Van Nistelrooy rejected the Burnley head coach role in the summer to join the United boss’ backroom team.
This came after Ten Hag was handed a new contract.
But United’s form has not improved since last season’s worst-ever Premier League finish.
The Red Devils lost 3-0 to Tottenham last Sunday and now sit in 13th place in the Premier League table.
Speaking on the White and Jordan show on talkSPORT, Keown said: “I’m looking at Van Nistelrooy. Is he giving everything to this manager? This manager looks very lonely on the sideline.
“Is Van Nistelrooy waiting to take over? Because it looks as if there’s going to be change taking place there.
“Is everyone adding to the group? I’m not seeing that from Van Nistelrooy. Ten Hag is just sitting there, nothing going on, no conversation. Pep goes back and speaks to the gurus next to him.
“Is everybody looking in the mirror at themselves giving their best?”
