On November 13, according to The Sun, before leaving Manchester United, Ruud van Nistelrooy asked the players to fully support the new manager, Bruno Amorim.
After Erik ten Hag’s dismissal, Van Nistelrooy became the interim manager of Manchester United, leading the team to a record of 3 wins and 1 draw during the transition period, which was satisfactory. With Bruno Amorim officially taking over as the new manager of Manchester United, Van Nistelrooy also announced his departure.
According to sources, “Van Nistelrooy expressed his desire to stay at Manchester United when he left, as he deeply loves this club. However, he quickly accepted the reality of leaving the team and hoped that Amorim would be able to take control of everything quickly upon arrival, including the players, coaching staff, and other personnel.”
The source added, “Van Nistelrooy told the players that he was happy to have had the opportunity to manage Manchester United, which will help his coaching career and strengthen his relationship with the club. He has not given up on the possibility of returning to Manchester United one day. Van Nistelrooy also asked the players to give their full support to the new manager, Bruno Amorim.”
