Ruud van Nistelrooy leaves Man United after Rúben Amorim’s arrival

Manchester United has confirmed that Ruud van Nistelrooy has left the club after the arrival of newly appointed head coach Ruben Amorim. After Erik Ten Hag was sacked on 28th October, Nistelrooy took charge of the Red Devils.

The former Manchester United striker took the club to three wins and one draw in four matches as the team’s manager. United also scored 11 goals during Nistelrooy’s short stint.

“Manchester United can confirm that Ruud van Nistelrooy has left the club. Ruud rejoined in the summer and has taken charge of the team for the past four matches as interim head coach.,” the club statement said.

“Ruud is, and always will be, a Manchester United legend. We are grateful for his contribution and the way in which he has approached his role throughout his time with the club.

“He will always be very welcome at Old Trafford. Rene Hake, Jelle ten Rouwelaar and Pieter Morel have also departed and we wish them all well for the future.

“We will confirm the full men’s first team coaching composition in due course.”

Meanwhile, the Dutch forward scored 150 goals in 219 appearances over a five-year period for Manchester United.

On the other hand, Matthijs de Ligt feels the biggest challenge for incoming head coach Ruben Amorim will be to get everyone on the same page.

“I think a back three or a back four, it’s in general the same, the only thing of importance is how the team is set up,” he said.

“You can play in a back three but if everything is not compact and everybody is doing their own job then it’s going to be really difficult, the same in a back four. That’s going to be the biggest challenge for the trainers, to get everyone on the same wavelength and same page to improve as a team and improve as players.”

United will take on Ipswich Town on 24th November after the international break.
