Van Nistelrooy, a club legend from his playing days, joined as boss Erik ten Hag’s assistant this summer.

Schmeichel told Tipsbladet: “He is a fantastic talent. The possibilities that lie within him are at the highest level and he can pull himself into that conversation. 

“Ruud van Nistelrooy is back at the club and I spoke to him briefly. He says there is so much potential in him. 

“If he can help him… It’s not just Rasmus! The team is not playing with him in the right way, so there are some things that need to be corrected.”
