Van Nistelrooy reflects on short tenure as caretaker with heartfelt message to fans as United prepares for new era.
Ruud van Nistelrooy has confirmed he’ll soon learn his future at Manchester United, with an official decision expected within the next 24 hours. Van Nistelrooy, the former United striker who took over as caretaker manager following Erik ten Hag’s departure, has led the team to three wins and a draw in his four-match stint. However, with Ruben Amorim set to arrive as the new manager, Van Nistelrooy’s position remains uncertain as Amorim plans to bring in his own staff.
Van Nistelrooy has expressed a desire to stay on and work alongside Amorim, even sharing that his long-term dream is to manage United permanently. The two are scheduled to meet for discussions once Amorim wraps up his commitments with Sporting Lisbon, who face Braga on Sunday night.
After United’s convincing 3-0 win over Leicester City, an emotional Van Nistelrooy addressed the fans in the Stretford End, expressing his gratitude for their unwavering support. Reflecting on his time as interim manager, he told BBC Sport, “It’s been a short but amazing period. We’ve been in an uncertain position, but we’ve done our best to support the club, and the fans have been incredible.”
In his post-match press conference, Van Nistelrooy explained the club’s approach to the interim role, saying, “The club was clear with me, explaining that a new head coach would be announced after four games. I’ve appreciated that transparency. This club is what matters most, and I’m here to support it in whatever way I can.”
As he awaits clarity, Van Nistelrooy remains committed to United’s future, hoping for a chance to contribute under Amorim’s leadership. With an official decision imminent, both Van Nistelrooy and United fans will soon learn whether the beloved former player will remain at Old Trafford in a new capacity.
