In a surprising development, Ruud van Nistelrooy has decided to leave Manchester United with immediate effect.
The former Dutch striker, who was set to serve as assistant coach under newly appointed manager Ruben Amorim, has opted not to continue in this role.
Van Nistelrooy’s departure is a blow to Manchester United’s coaching staff, as the club had anticipated his contributions would add experience and continuity to Amorim’s new era at Old Trafford.
Known for his goal-scoring prowess during his playing days at United, van Nistelrooy’s presence was expected to provide valuable insight and inspiration to the squad.
The decision comes amidst a period of transition for United as Amorim, who was brought in to revitalize the team, now faces the task of finding a new assistant who can help him instill his philosophy and bring success to the club.
