Still at home at Old Trafford, Van Nistelrooy secretly maintains ties with Manchester United players

Van Nistelrooy made his dressing room debut in the 5-2 win over Leicester in the League Cup. In that match, there were signs of a good bond between him and the MU midfielder. After Alejandro Garnacho’s goal put his team 2-0 up, Casemiro turned to Van Nistelrooy on the bench, gave him a smile and raised a fist in thanks.

The interim chairman has made no secret of the fact that he wants to remain at MU despite Amorim’s arrival. Moreover, his contract at the club will only end in 2026.

However, on the other hand, it is also natural that Amorim wants to recruit the same staff who helped him achieve great success at Sporting CP. And because of that, there may be no place for Van Nistelrooy at United – the only club where he has said he would accept an assistant position.
