Ruud van Nistelrooy has revealed he hopes to remain at Manchester United even after the imminent arrival of Ruben Amorim as manager.
The legendary former striker put his own managerial career on hold to join as Erik ten Hag’s assistant in the summer and is now in the interim role after his compatriot was sacked earlier this week.
Van Nistelrooy is expected to remain in charge until the international break in November, when Amorim is ready to take control and bring three of his assistants from Sporting CP.
However, Van Nistelrooy is hopeful that the new manager will still find a place for him in his new look. united configuration
“I came here as an assistant to help the club. Now in this role, I am helping whenever needed,” promised Van Nistelrooy. “In the future anyway, I’m here to help the club continue to build towards the future. That’s why I’m here.”
He continued: “I’m here to help and serve and give my all for the club in any way with so many people around me who want the best for the club and that will never change.”
Van Nistelrooy made his name as part of PSV Eindhoven’s academy coaching staff, starting out as a specialist attacking coach before transitioning into management, progressing through the age groups before becoming charge of the senior team in July 2022.
He won the Dutch Cup and Supercup in his only season in charge, before taking his talents back to Manchester to join the Ten Hag side.
