Ruud: I'd rather help United than be a manager elsewhere
Click to expand...

Interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy suggests his "appetite" to help Manchester United is greater than his ambitions to manage another club.

The former United striker, who now oversees the club in a temporary role following the sacking of Erik ten Hag, will be replaced by Ruben Amorim when the Sporting boss takes post at Old Trafford on November 11. The Portuguese is set to bring his own staff with him to the club.

"The appetite to build further within this club is stronger than that [being my own man].

"I made a deliberate decision to step into this role for two seasons and take it from there.

"Four games haven't changed that sentiment, That's why I said from the beginning that's what my intentions were after my interim job."

Quizzed further as to whether he'd like to manage United in the future he added:

"Of course, I thought this through."

It would bloat the roster to have one more coach but as someone who has been an assistant coach in club rugby while we went through 3 different head coaches, I will say keeping a person that knows the team and squad through a transition is valuable.

Sofabloke · Nov 8, 2024

I think it will be beneficial to Ruud career as a manager to see how Amorim does things.

Agree with @Deadtigers above that it will also be useful to Amorim to have Ruud around for a bit to shorten his learning curve on a few things relating to the club and the players to help speed the transition.

Ultimately though I think this only has limited value to both over time, so would make most sense to me for Ruud to stick around until the end of the season and then most likely to find his own path in management somewhere else.

Think that will suit both best.

Mount played on Wednesday. How does he have a knock already?

LMAO

Ruud last match in charge, think he will have a great win% if he wins. A little meaningless in some regards but would be nice for him to beat Giggs and Carrick

Curious why all four of the service members weren't saluting during the trumpeting?

Bit if a rough day for the trumpeter - fracked some notes and sounded a bit flat.

CybrSlydr · Nov 10, 2024

OH MY GOD THAT WAS GORGEOUS

Ruud v.Nistelrooy 10 · Nov 10, 2024

good finish Fernandes

Sofabloke · Nov 10, 2024

Sweet goal Bruno and even sweeter assist from Amad

1-0

Holy__Joe · Nov 10, 2024

Nice

Sofabloke · Nov 10, 2024

Dalot in a real dodgy patch of form defensively last few games, doesn't track Ndidi but does play him a mile onside by dropping so deep behind the CBs. Fortunately Onana out quickly and Ndidi fluffs it.

Dalot must do better there though.

CybrSlydr · Nov 10, 2024

Cannot understand why EtH wouldn't play Ugarte. Guy is exactly what we need protecting the back line.

Ruud v.Nistelrooy 10 · Nov 10, 2024

Fernandes at the double.

good to see him scoring again

Ruud v.Nistelrooy 10 · Nov 10, 2024

oh, maybe that's an own goal

Sofabloke · Nov 10, 2024

Think Bruno fluffs that and goes in off the defender.

Good cross Maz.

2-0

CybrSlydr · Nov 10, 2024

Awwwww... Almost Amad

Ruud v.Nistelrooy 10 · Nov 10, 2024

despite Rashford being a nothing burger yet again, Dalot struggling with Fatawu and Højlund not getting the better of David Luiz, we've been fairly comfortable.

a third to close it out would do nicely

Sofabloke · Nov 10, 2024

Garnacho fluctuates between terrible and great.

That was great - 3-0

Bruno bags an assist.

Think that means the goal difference is back to 0

Ruud v.Nistelrooy 10 · Nov 10, 2024

great 3rd

JC7rox · Nov 10, 2024

A beaut.

benni... · Nov 10, 2024

Nice!

Sell Rashford. Buy Kvaradonna

Holy__Joe · Nov 10, 2024

Really great placement, we finally fix our goal difference.

Can't see how Rashford can be a starter anymore. Amad and Garnacho just have so much more that they contribute
