Robin van Persie has been backed to manage Manchester United one day as Sir Jim Ratcliffe as the club's owners search for Ruben Amorim permanent successor, according to Manchester Evening reports.
Ruud Gullit believes Robin van Persie possesses the credentials to one day manage Manchester United. The Reds have named Michael Carrick as interim head coach manager until the season concludes after sacking Ruben Amorim.
Carrick is among the favourites for the role, having won his first three games since taking charge. However, names such as Carlo Ancelotti, Thomas Tuchel and Luis Enrique are also being considered, as club owners, including Sir Jim Ratcliffe, look to make a full-time appointment in the summer.
But Gullit reckons Van Persie would be a suitable candidate to manage his former club at some stage down the line. Speaking to media, he said: "It would be great if Robin van Persie became the manager of Manchester United in the future.
"I definitely hope that happens at some point! Robin is a great manager, but he’s struggling a little bit at Feyenoord at the moment. I feel like the expectations for him are very high because of the career he had, so he’s under the spotlight a lot more than other managers in the Eredivisie.
"He’s under fire over here in Holland at the moment, but I hope he’s given time to rectify it and prove how good he is. Look what happened with Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United – they kept him, and look how good he ended up being!
"Down the line, however, I think it would be great for Robin to manage at Old Trafford one day."
Van Persie joined United from Arsenal in a stunning deal in 2012. He went on to score 48 goals in just 86 league appearances and helped United win the Premier League title in 2013, which turned out to be their last one since Fergie retired.

Rubem Amorim never should been sacked
He wasn’t flexible, and it was costing us a lot. Great manager but his style of play doesn’t fit man Utd, we were playing clueless ball

If we can’t get Roberto De Zerbi, let’s keep Carrick. He is my number choice
