A former Premier League star has been offered the chance to gain some coaching experience at Manchester United as he looks to kickstart his career on the touchline.
Having called time on his playing days last year after winning 147 international caps, the player is now considering moving into coaching.
He has been offered a helping hand in the early stages of his development by United's assistant coach Steve McClaren, who he played under in the Netherlands.
Bryan Ruiz and McClaren won the Eredivisie together at FC Twente, and now the ex-Fulham forward has revealed his former boss has reached out to him about an opportunity at United.
