Maresca, a former teammate of Van Nistelrooy, expressed his happiness for the Dutchman’s appointment and his excitement about reuniting with an old friend on the touchline.
Speaking ahead of the match, Maresca said, “I’m genuinely happy for Ruud. He’s someone I’ve known and respected for years. It’s a great step for him, and I’m looking forward to catching up with him and seeing how he brings his own style to Manchester United.”
The two shared a strong connection during their playing days, and Maresca suggested that Van Nistelrooy’s keen tactical insight and years of experience could be beneficial for United as they navigate a transitional phase.
As Manchester United look to rebuild momentum under Van Nistelrooy, who steps in with an interim role following Erik ten Hag’s departure, Maresca’s supportive remarks highlight a wider respect within the football community for Van Nistelrooy’s potential impact at Old Trafford.
The meeting between United and Chelsea will also provide a high-stakes challenge, with both clubs keen to secure valuable points in their Premier League campaigns.
