Former Premier League striker hits out at Ruud van Nistelrooy after Man United legend left him out in the cold during time at Leicester

Ruud van Nistelrooy has been savaged by former Leicester City striker Odsonne Edouard.

Edouard says Van Nistelrooy was not a 'great coach' and revealed he used to do his own training sessions after the Dutchman had tried to tutor him.

The Frenchman has found a new lease of life playing for Lens in his homeland but his loan at Leicester last season was a disaster, ending with just six appearances and relegation from the Premier League.

He had built a decent reputation at parent club Crystal Palace but hardly got a sniff under Van Nistelrooy, who won just five of his 27 games in charge and lost 19.
