Ruud van Nistelrooy, the interim Manchester United manager, has expressed his desire to be part of Ruben Amorim’s new coaching setup at the club.
Amorim, the Sporting CP manager, is reportedly set to become the permanent manager at Old Trafford.
Van Nistelrooy was put in charge after Erik ten Hag was sacked following a poor start to the season.
Despite the interim role, he has already made a positive impact, leading United to a 5-2 victory over Leicester City in the Carabao Cup.
While the official confirmation of Amorim’s appointment is still awaited, Van Nistelrooy seems prepared to stay on as part of the new coaching staff.
He has praised the club’s ambition and expressed his commitment to helping United achieve success.
The victory over Leicester City was a much-needed boost for United, who have struggled for consistency this season.
The goals from Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, and Alejandro Garnacho showcased the team’s attacking potential, and Van Nistelrooy was full of praise for their performance.
Leicester City, on the other hand, were disappointed with the result. Manager Steve Cooper was particularly critical of the referee’s decision to allow United’s second goal to stand, despite an apparent offside in the build-up.
He also received a yellow card for his protests.
As United look to the future with Amorim at the helm, Van Nistelrooy’s experience and passion could be invaluable in helping the club return to its former glory.
