The Portuguese wanted to begin work in the summer, and the Red Devils missed an open goal by not keeping the legendary striker in charge until then

Ruben Amorim has explained his decision to not keep Ruud van Nistelrooy as part of his coaching staff at Manchester United. Van Nistelrooy was initially brought in as part of Erik ten Hag ’s coaching team last the summer but following the Dutchman’s sacking he was asked to step in as interim manager.

United knocked Leicester out of the Carabao Cup in October, 5-2 at Old Trafford, and the Foxes lost 3-0 when they returned for a Premier League fixture in November. Ruud van Nistelrooy is now in charge of Leicester and the popular Dutchman will return to Old Trafford for the first since the conclusion of his interim role at United.
