United are continuing their reshuffle at Old Trafford since the arrival of minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
And Hake and Van Nistelrooy are two of the newest additions to the backroom staff for the Manchester giants.
The Dutch trio will be hoping they can build on Man Utd’s FA Cup success last season as they combine their footballing experience.
The football brains headed out for some food ahead of their home country’s Euro 2024 semi-final clash with England, leaving just in time to make it for kick off.

Execs have also been arriving to steer the club in a new direction.
Former Newcastle chief Dan Ashworth finally made his switch to Manchester as the club’s new sporting director earlier this month.

The pair aren’t the only new faces in Ratcliffe’s new look set-up either.
Former Manchester City chief executive Omar Berrada is expected to arrive at the club later this month.
