The Man United team “really want” van Nistelrooy to stay
according to The SunAccording to team sources, the team “really want” Ruud van Nistelrooy to stay at the club.
The Dutchman has a rich history at the Theater of Dreams having enjoyed a spectacular acting career under Sir Alex Ferguson.
It cannot be said that he has done anything with Erik ten Hag, who brought him back to the club in the summer.
Van Nistelrooy’s experience in the attacking department has clearly not translated into first-team forwards this season.
Despite their results in the Carabao Cup, United as a team have managed just eight goals in the Premier League this season. Only Crystal Palace and bottom club Southampton have scored less.
Abject failure could describe Man United in 2024/25, so having vestiges of the Ten Hag regime is unlikely to dry up with Amorim.

Indeed, he has already indicated that he brings his own rejection staff with him, which could suggest that there is no place for van Nistelrooy in any case.
Fabrizio Romano quoted Amorim X: “I will take my coaching staff to Manchester United. They are absolutely key for me. We have been together since Casa Pia. It was one of the conditions.”
That would send a signal to United’s squad that it doesn’t really matter what they want, because the manager will decide what he wants above all else.
