Man United confirm Ruud van Nistelrooy’s exit as Amorim flies in

Manchester United have confirmed the departure of Ruud van Nistelrooy following his spell as interim coach.
Van Nistelrooy replaced Erik ten Hag, but the appointment of Ruben Amorim has resulted in the Dutchman parting ways with the Old Trafford club.
Amorim flew into Manchester from Portugal on Monday. He will take charge of his first game after the international break.
Van Nistelrooy oversaw four games as interim boss, in which United went unbeaten. He took charge of wins over Leicester in the Carabao Cup and Premier League as well as a UEFA Europa League victory against PAOK and a league draw with Chelsea.
Coaches Rene Hake, Jelle ten Rouwelaar and Pieter Morel have also left United.
“Ruud is, and always will be, a Manchester United legend,” a club statement read. “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.”
Amorim was announced as Ten Hag’s successor on November 1. His first match in charge of the Old Trafford club will be an away game to Ipswich Town on November 24.
The former Sporting boss said on Sunday that he was set to hold talks with Van Nistelrooy regarding his future at United.
Amorim said of Van Nistelrooy: “[He’s] a legend of the club. He did a great job. I have to talk with him tomorrow (Monday). Then I will explain everything. I am very clear and I will tell you like it is. Let’s wait until tomorrow (Monday).”
Van Nistelrooy netted 150 goals in 219 games for United between 2001 and 2006 before moving to Real Madrid, Hamburg and then Malaga.
The Dutchman had previously spent a year in charge of PSV Eindhoven, departing one game before the end of the 2022-23 campaign.
