Manchester United, the Amorim era begins. And Van Nistelrooy is the first ‘victim’: “We confirm our farewell”

Coexistence impossible. Ruben Amorim must have thought this of Ruud van Nistelrooywho left Manchester United again today as a consequence of the Portuguese’s arrival in red and white: “Manchester United confirms that Ruud van Nistelrooy has left the club. Ruud returned in the summer and has led the team in the last four matches as manager interim Ruud is, and always will be, a Manchester United legend.

We are grateful for his contribution and the approach he has maintained in his role during his time with the club. He will always be welcome at Old Trafford. Rene Hake, Jelle ten Rouwelaar and Pieter Morel have also left the club, and we wish them all the best for the future. We will confirm the full composition of the men’s first team coaching staff in due course,” the club’s official website reads.
