Van Nistelrooy Is On
Amid Amorim’s pursuit, Van Nistelrooy is on duty for Chelsea matches.
The most obvious indication that Ruben Amorim will not be leading Manchester United.
This weekend is that interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy will lead the team’s pre-match media before Sunday’s Premier League match against Chelsea.
Amorim’s release from Sporting, who play Estrela in their own league match on Friday, is being negotiated by United.
Next Tuesday, Sporting will play Manchester City in Lisbon in a crucial Champions League match.
Although United has not acknowledged it, some Portuguese sources claim that Sporting is seeking a 5 million euro (£4.2 million) compensation pay for Amorim’s coaches to go to Old Trafford.
It is not entirely implausible that he will continue to lead Sporting until the international break in November.
When Leicester City visits Old Trafford on Wednesday for the Carabao Cup last 16 match, former United and Netherlands striker Van Nistelrooy will be in command for the first time.
With United in 14th place in the Premier League, he was put in interim command following the dismissal of Erik ten Hag on Monday.
United may prove to be “unstoppable.”
If Amorim is hired, it is uncertain if Van Nistelrooy, who played at United from 2001 to 2006 and won the Premier League, FA Cup, EFL Cup, and FA Community Shield, would stay with the team.
After a year as PSV Eindhoven’s manager in 2022, he joined Ten Hag’s assistant in the summer.
When “players, staff, and supporters work together,” United “can be unstoppable,” according to Van Nistelrooy.
In his programme remarks prior to the Leicester match.
He stated, “Even on an interim basis.
It is a wonderful honour to manage the team I love for however long I am asked to do so.
Van Nistelrooy said in his programme notes prior to the Leicester match.
I believe Manchester United can return to the levels that I know here as a player.
Which is why I returned in the summer as Erik’s assistant.
“I still believe that, but it will require a lot of effort and time.
“This season, we have occasionally witnessed the squad’s potential, but obviously not frequently enough.”
