Ruud van Nistelrooy leaves Manchester United upon the arrival of Ruben Amorim, confirms the club in an official statement on Monday evening. He’ll not work under the Portuguese.
The former striker returned to Old Trafford in the summer to work under Erik ten Hag as the assistant manager before his installation as interim head coach following his compatriot’s sacking on October 28.
Official statement from the club reads; “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.
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”.

The Dutchman took charge of four games as the interim boss, winning three and drawing one, with eleven goals scored — his three wins equals United’s total in their final 11 games under Erik Ten Hag.
Amorim had said he’ll speak RVN on the potential of working together in Old Trafford but it appears the former striker prefers to move on and take on a different challenge.
