Manchester United players want Ruud Van Nistelrooy to remain at the club when Ruben Amorim takes charge as their new club manager. This comes with appreciation towards the way their ‘connector’ has communicated with them.
According to Sky Sports News, there is a swell of support to keep the 48-year-old at Carrington in some capacity after his period as interim manager ends in few days.
Van Nistelrooy is esteemed by United’s leadership group for the way he carries himself,along with all the stuff that serve the first-team operations.
Furthermore, there are no concrete decisions taken on the make up of Amorim’s backroom team yet, but the incoming head coach wants to bring in five of his colleagues from Sporting, including his long-term assistants Carlos Fernandes and Adelio Candido, as well as the experienced Emanuel Ferro who operates in that role.
If they are to join, it is hard to see Van Nistelrooy, who has an assistant manager contact,and is still able to fill that position.
Some tweaking of his responsibilities would be required to keep him at Old Trafford, but the club legend has stressed his openness to helping in a different. He has also thrown his support behind Amorim, and has said on more than one occasion that he would love to speak to him.
Beyond Ruud Van Nistelrooy,there is also a strong desire for Darren Fletcher, currently first team coach to remain under Amorim.
Darren Fletcher has been a great link between the academy and the senior side, having taken same journey as United’s player years back-making over 300 appearances and winning 13 trophies in 20 years.
