Van Nistelrooy stepped up to interim manager following the sacking of Erik ten Hag, helping to turn United around.

However, another club legend, Rio Ferdinand has now voiced his thoughts on why Amorim didn’t want the legendary striker as part of his coaching staff.
Rio Ferdinand comments on Ruud van Nistelrooy’s dismissal
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Rio Ferdinand Presents, the former defender commented: “I think (for) the manager (Amorim) it’s not an easy transition to go in and have, sitting next to you on the side-line at Old Trafford, one of the most prolific strikers (in the club’s history).”
“The fans love him. They loved him before (his interim spell), they love him even more now.
“And any turns of results or bumps in the road, they’ll say to get Ruud in as a manager.”
For Amorim, letting Erik ten Hag’s coaching staff go allows him to have a fresh start at the club, with his tactics and all his coaches on board, having worked under him before.
