Ruud van Nistelrooy, the former Manchester United player and assistant manager, recently left the club after the arrival of Ruben Amorim. This was his second stint at Old Trafford, as he had previously served as an assistant to manager Erik ten Hag and even took over as interim manager for a brief period. During his time as interim manager, he led the team to three wins and a draw, which made some people hopeful that he would stay on as a coach under Amorim.
However, on Monday, just hours after Amorim's arrival at the club's training base, it was announced that Van Nistelrooy had left the Red Devils for good. This news came as a surprise to many, as the Dutchman had expressed his desire to stay at United and continue working with the team. In his first public statement since his departure, Van Nistelrooy took to Instagram to thank everyone at the club, from the backroom staff to the players and fans, for their support and the memories they shared together.
Despite his exit, it is no secret that Van Nistelrooy still has ambitions of becoming the manager of Manchester United one day. His impressive track record and experience in the game have already made him a top candidate for the job, and he has even been linked with a swift return to the dugout. According to reports, Championship side Burnley are interested in hiring the 48-year-old, who came close to joining them last summer before returning to United.
Burnley, who are currently fourth in the table and aiming for promotion to the Premier League, have faced some criticism for their recent performances. This has reignited their interest in Van Nistelrooy, who has just one season of management under his belt with PSV. The club's decision to appoint Scott Parker instead of Van Nistelrooy has not gone down well with some fans, as the team has only managed to score nine goals in their last 13 games.
Meanwhile, Amorim is set to make his Manchester United debut on November 24 when the team travels to face Ipswich Town. The Portuguese manager, who has been hailed for his tactical prowess and success at previous clubs, will be looking to make a strong start to his tenure at United. Fans and the club's management have high hopes for Amorim, and they will be hoping that he can bring more glory days to Old Trafford. As for Van Nistelrooy, he will continue to pursue his dream of managing Manchester United one day, but for now, he will be supporting the team from afar.
