A 3-0 victory over Leicester City at Old Trafford on Sunday marked the end of Ruud van Nistelrooy’s term as interim manager for Manchester United. The victory was an easy victory for United.
In the event that Ruben Amorim takes over as manager of Manchester United tomorrow, Matthijs de Ligt is certain that Ruud van Nistelrooy be retained by the club.
Amorim is scheduled to arrive in Manchester in order to take over as manager of Old Trafford, and one of his first orders of business will be to make a decision about the future of van Nistelrooy. During his brief stint as interim manager for Manchester United, Van Nistelrooy won his fourth and final game as caretaker manager against Leicester by a score of 3-0. He finished his tenure with three victories and and a tie.
De Ligt claims that his fellow Dutchman is familiar with United owing to the fact that he played forward for the club from the years 2001 to 2006. Towards the end of the match at Old Trafford, the fans of Manchester United screamed his name, and he grew emotional as he thanked the Stretford End. He then disappeared into the players’ tunnel, which may be his final performance.
Erik ten Hag invited Van Nistelrooy back to Old Trafford as his assistant coach during the summer. According to de Ligt, Van Nistelrooy has had a significant influence in the short amount of time that he has been working as a coach at Old Trafford. Despite the fact that Amorim has insisted on taking his own players from Sporting Lisbon with him, de Ligt is hopeful that the Portuguese will find a position for van Nistelrooy.
The statement was made by de Ligt, who stated, “Yeah, I can only speak of my experience, and I believe he was really valuable as an assistant.” “As a manager, he is familiar with the club. It should come as no surprise that he is aware of the requests that are made by particular players, as well as the audience.
Therefore, in my opinion, that is true; but, in the end, the choice will be made by the management.
According to De Ligt, ten Hag was unfortunate with the outcomes, and he believes that United should have defeated West Ham instead of losing the match that would have resulted in him losing his job.
I don’t believe that Ruud has changed all that much,” remarked the defender for the Netherlands. “The difference was Eric; we had games that we played really well in, such as when we were away at West Ham, and we didn’t score despite having eight chances that were two hundred percent chance.”
“I mean, in the first game, we scored five goals against Leicester,” the spokesperson said. The five goals are comparable to a shot from thirty meters out, a back pass, and a free kick that is taken into the wall.
The game of football may be pretty peculiar at times due to the fact that luck can occasionally take the lead. And I believe, clearly, that this is a huge credit to Ruud, but I also believe that for Eric, it wasn’t that something significant changed; rather, it was just that the momentum in the situation shifted.
“And if the momentum shifts, everyone becomes more confident, and you start winning games, it’s as simple as that,” the coach said.
