When Amorim was appointed as head coach in November, he made the decision that there was no room for the former United striker. He brought in his coaching team from Sporting Lisbon, but the 39-year-old has lost eight of his 19 games in charge of the team.
In the fourth round of the FA Cup, which will take place on Friday night, Van Nistelrooy will make his return to Old Trafford as the manager of Leicester City. United will square off against their Premier League rivals.
Despite this, Amorim has no regrets, stating that it would have been inappropriate to elevate Van Nistelrooy to a position of authority over his own assistants or to anticipate that the 48-year-old would accept a subordinate position on the staff.
Manchester United’s lineups for their match against Newcastle United are: [3-4-3]: Five players from the academy have been promoted, and five players from the first team have been removed from the squad. Ruben Amorim has confirmed that another FIVE players who are not serious have been removed from the squad.
“It was not a difficult situation because it was so clear for me, and all I had to do was explain it,” he said. He is a football fanatic, and he is aware of the circumstances that have arisen. In addition to my staff, I have my team. The team that brought me here is the one I would prefer to work with.
As a result of the fact that it was either beneficial for me or a popular thing to do, I was able to keep Ruud. In spite of this, I will not put Ruud in front of my guys under any circumstances.
“After that, I was forced to place a person like Ruud at the very bottom of the hierarchy on my staff, and I believe that this put Ruud in an unfair position.”
As a sign of respect for Ruud, I communicated with him in a detailed manner. I explained that I already have my team, and that I will continue to do things in the same manner. I will not put a person like Ruud, who is a part of this club’s history, at the bottom of the hierarchy in the staff.
As a result, the decision was crystal clear, and it was really easy to explain to him. He accepted it like the gentleman that he is.
When Amorim was asked about the fact that Van Nistelrooy and Ten Hag have a better record than he has at United this season, he responded by saying, “They were better than me in training this team.” Even though I am a really proud guy, it is really difficult for me to accept this, but I do so normally.
‘It’s not really awkward. His name was Van Nistelrooy, and he was a member of the team. He worked with the club. There are some decisions that I made that are extremely challenging, which can sometimes lead to problems and friction within the team.
“I am attempting to assist the players in seeing the game in the same manner that I do, with the goal of enhancing both the performance and the outcomes.”
Jeremy Monga, who is 15 years old, and Jake Evans, who is 16 years old, will be placed on the bench by Van Nistelrooy, who stated, “It’s an occasion where opportunities for players can happen.”
