Ruud van Nistelrooy
Ruud van Nistelrooy has reunited with a old colleague from Manchester United at Leicester City
Former Manchester United interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy got off to the perfect start at Leicester City on Tuesday night as the Foxes defeated West Ham 3-1.
Despite conceding 31 shots and having only 39 passes in the final third - compared to West Ham's 166 - Leicester earned their third win of the season.
Goals by Jamie Vardy, Bilal El Khannouss and Patson Daka got the Dutchman off to the dream start in the Midlands. Van Nistelrooy only started work on Sunday and, as of yet, there has been no update on the make-up of his coaching staff.

However, eagled-eye viewers would have noticed there was a familiar face in the dug-out at the King Power Stadium. Jelle ten Rouwelaar was pictured in conversation with Van Nistelrooy shortly after El Khannouss' goal in the second-half.
The Dutchman joined United's coaching staff as first-team goalkeeping coach in July, alongside Van Nistelrooy, under Erik ten Hag. The 43-year-old moved to Old Trafford from Burnley having worked with Vincent Kompany at Turf Moor and Anderlecht.
He moved to Manchester in the summer as part of Ten Hag's backroom team shake-up before leaving when Van Nistelrooy's interim spell ended.
Ten Rouwelaar's move to Leicester hasn't been confirmed yet but there was no missing the bearded Dutchman on the bench at the King Power. The new Leicester boss did confirm Ten Rouwelaar had joined his coaching staff during his post-match press conference.
The Reds legend will be hoping to continue his bright start when the Foxes take on Brighton at home this weekend.
