Marca says phone conversations with Ten Hag were said to be decisive, during which he was reassured that he would have a leading role in the team's planning and preparation.
Van Nistelrooy is said to be excited by the prospect of being part of United's planned revival and working with his fellow Dutchman.
Van Nistelrooy was in talks with Burnley about the manager's job until last week.
