Ruud van Nistelrooy thankful for ‘honour’ of representing Manchester United - Van Nistelrooy, who joined the coaching staff in the summer, took temporary charge of United following the sacking of Erik ten Hag last month.

The Dutchman's exit was announced on Monday, just hours after new United head coach Ruben Amorim had arrived in England from Portugal. Van Nistelrooy returned to United during the summer as assistant manager, 18 years after he left the club as a player, and was put in caretaker charge following the exit of fellow countryman Erik ten Hag last month.

Ruud van Nistelrooy left Manchester United earlier this week after taking temporary charge of the team, with new boss Ruben Amorim bringing his own coaching staff from Portugal
