Ruud van Nistelrooy has departed from his position as assistant coach at Manchester United following the appointment of Rúben Amorim. The former striker, who had a brief stint as interim manager after Erik ten Hag's dismissal, achieved three victories and one draw during his time in charge. However, he will not continue with the club as it enters a new chapter under Amorim. Van Nistelrooy returned to Manchester United in the summer to work alongside Ten Hag, marking his return to the club after an 18-year absence. Despite expressing a desire to remain with the team and fulfill the remaining 18 months of his contract under Amorim, he will not be part of the coaching staff moving forward. The club also announced the departure of other coaching staff members, including René Hake, Jelle ten Rouwelaar, and Pieter Morel.

Ruud van Nistelrooy has expressed uncertainty about his future at Manchester United under the incoming manager, Rúben Amorim. The interim boss revealed that he has not yet received any communication from Amorim, who is set to take over after his current team, Sporting, faces Braga. Van Nistelrooy's comments come on the heels of Manchester United's recent victory over Greek champions Paok at Old Trafford, which marked the club's first European win in over a year and lifted them to 15th place in the Europa League standings with six points. This upcoming match against Leicester will be Van Nistelrooy's fourth and final game in charge as interim manager. As he prepares to step down, Van Nistelrooy emphasized the importance of allowing Amorim to concentrate on his current responsibilities with Braga, indicating that discussions about his own role at the club will have to wait. The Dutchman remains in the dark about whether he will continue with Manchester United once Amorim officially takes the reins.
