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.

Manchester United has officially announced the appointment of Rúben Amorim as their new head coach, set to begin on 11 November, coinciding with the international break. The 39-year-old will be transitioning from his role at Sporting CP, where he achieved notable success, winning two league titles and two league cups during his four seasons in charge. In a statement, Manchester United expressed their excitement about Amorim's arrival, stating, “We are delighted to announce Rúben Amorim as the head coach of the men’s first team, pending work visa requirements.” Amorim has signed a contract that runs until June 2027, with an option for an additional year. He will officially join the club after completing his commitments with Sporting CP.
