Ruud van Nistelrooy breaks silence on Man Utd exit after being axed by Ruben Amorim (an)

Ruud van Nistelrooy left his post at Manchester United following the arrival of Ruben Amorim.

Ruud van Nistelrooy has penned an open letter to Manchester United following his departure.

Van Nistelrooy took over Man United as interim boss after Erik ten Hag’s dismissal at the end of last month.

He leaves off the back of the club’s 3-0 victory over Leicester City in the Premier League, with Ruben Amorim set to take charge following the international break.

Van Nistelrooy has now released a statement thanking everyone at Man United following his short spell as manager.

“To everyone at Manchester United Football Club, in particular the backroom staff, the players and the fans,” he wrote on social media.

“I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your incredible efforts and support.

“It has been a privilege and honour to represent the club as a player, coach and manager, and I will always cherish the memories we have shared together.

“Man United will always have a special place in my heart, and I hope there are many more glory days at Old Trafford very soon – not only because I want the club to do well, but because you all deserve it! “All the best and take care, Ruud.”

Van Nistelrooy oversaw four games during his interim stint and has already been linked with a swift return to management.

He led the Red Devils against Leicester in the Carabao Cup, winning the cup tie 5-2 to secure a spot in the next round of the competition, before beating the Foxes again in a league clash.

The legendary Dutchman, who scored 150 goals during his prolific spell as a Man United player, also guided the club to victory over PAOK in the Europa League.

Man United also drew with Chelsea in the league under Van Nistelrooy’s managerial tutelage.

The 48-year-old departs Old Trafford, with Amorim set to bring his own coaching staff with him to England.

The Portuguese head coach will begin his Man United reign at Ipswich Town on November 24.

Man Utd flop admits finally leaving the club was the best moment of his life and he begged to leave every day Published 20:28 14 Nov 2024 GMT Man Utd flop admits finally leaving the club was the best moment of his life and he begged to leave every day The former Manchester United star has spoken about his time at Old Trafford. Marcus Chan Marcus Chan One Manchester United has spoken candidly about his time at Old Trafford, claiming he wanted to leave every day. Back in 2010, United brought in a forward named Bebe from Vitoria Guimaraes SC in a deal worth a reported fee of £7.2 million. However, the winger only managed seven matches across all competitions for United, scoring twice. After spending time on loan at the likes of Besiktas, Rio Ave and Pacos de Ferreira, Bebe was sold to Benfica in 2014. Since Benfica, Bebe went on to play for the likes of Cordoba, Rayo Vallecano, Eibar and Real Zaragoza before joining Racing Ferrol this year. Back in 2018, while speaking to GOAL, via Give Me Sport, Bebe spoke about his time at United. He said: “It wasn’t that [I didn’t believe in myself], I just know what life is like and I think anyone would have the same thought as me. If you are playing in the third or fourth division in Portugal and suddenly one of the best teams in the world calls you, I think anyone would think ‘can this actually be true?'” However, his initial excitement quickly vanished as he continued to struggle at Old Trafford. Bebe added: “Every day, I called my agent to ask him to get me out. It was a bad time. When you do not play, even if you are at a great club, then you are not happy, so why continue? I remember that I was going for a United game with the youth team and my agent called me and told me I had been sold to Benfica. It was the best moment of my life.” Bebe struggled at Manchester United. Image Getty The Cape Verde international did go on to explain that he has no regrets about joining United. He said: “I can’t regret something that has given me so much food, that changed my life and the life of my family. United gave me everything. That’s where everything started for me. I could have a car, a house, I could buy things that I couldn’t have bought before. “I could help my family and friends in things they couldn’t do. I do not regret anything. It was a very good decision from me and my agent. If I had the mentality then that I have today, I would definitely still be there. I would be in a team like that. “But I had a different childhood from the others, and the attitudes and thoughts I had were different. That did not help me at all, not that I regret it. But now I would tell my younger self to train more, to be more concentrated, to be more professional.” In total, Bebe has so far made 362 club appearances, scoring 55 goals. On the international stage, the 34-year-old has been capped 24 times by Cape Verde, scoring six goals in the process. (an)
