Manchester United legend Ruud van Nistelrooy is reportedly being lined up as PSV's next manager.

The 45-year-old is currently in charge of Jong PSV, the club's reserve side, having coached the Under-18s for three years up until last summer.

Van Nistelrooy has also worked as an assistant coach with the Netherlands national team, but has never held a senior managerial role.
