This was Manchester United’s final game before the international break, and this break is bigger than most for United.
Meanwhile, Ruud van Nistelrooy signed off as interim Manchester United manager with a 3-0 victory over Leicester City in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon, with the Dutchman now handing over the reigns to Ruben Amorim.
The Red Devils will officially have a new head coach on Monday, with Amorim arriving from Sporting Lisbon, and he will take over a side that have gone unbeaten in their four matches since Erik ten Hag’s dismissal at the end of last month.
It’s said that Ruud van Nistelrooy is keen on staying at Old Trafford, with players and some club board members in positive relationship with him, but Ruben Amorim has already told the club that he’s not set on working with the Dutchman.
Moreover, This would be a hammer blow for United fans, who have loved seeing Van Nistelrooy back involved at the club once again.
The reality is though that Amorim may not want to have Van Nistelrooy on his coaching staff if the Dutchman has even one eye on taking the United job down the line.
It’s a matter of trust and whilst we hope to see Van Nistelrooy stay, we are bracing for his exit after an emotional farewell on Sunday.
