Ruud van Nistelrooy's final 'demand' to Man Utd players revealed after club legend ousted by new head coach Ruben Amorim

Premier League

Ipswich

<p>Initially appointed as assistant manager just four months ago, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ruben-amorim-backed-win-three-trophies-this-season-man-utd-teddy-sheringham-immediate-impact/blt3ae41a6f9ae9bc9b#cs6eab4ef59a00f016" target="_blank">Van Nistelrooy swiftly transitioned into the interim manager's role following Erik ten Hag’s dismissal.</a> Though he served in this position for only four games, he left a lasting impression on both the dressing room and fans as the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ruben-amorim-new-man-utd-boss-greeted-ceo-omar-berrada-sporting-director-dan-ashworth-carrington/bltecfa1e99f6505108" target="_blank">Red Devils won three matches and drew one under his guidance.</a></p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>According to <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31663451/ruud-van-nistelrooy-final-message-man-utd-ruben-amorim/" target="_blank"><em>The Sun</em></a><em>, </em>Van Nistelrooy anticipated his departure as soon as it was announced that Amorim would take over the reins and bring his own set of backroom staff. He left his role at Old Trafford with a heartfelt message to the squad, urging them to rally behind their new head coach and give their best to restore <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-best-manager-real-madrid-champions-league-winner-red-devils-ruben-amorim/blt6ec19c38f710908f#cs1e7320b9a81d11d8" target="_blank">United’s legacy under Amorim’s leadership.</a></p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>However, Van Nistelrooy was reportedly pragmatic about the new manager’s need for autonomy. "Ruud made clear to the bosses he wanted to stay at United because he loves the club. But he was also pragmatic and expected that Amorim would want total control of things, including his backroom staff," a source told <em>The Sun.</em></p><p>"He told the players he was very happy to have come back and to have had the chance to manage the club for four games. It has helped his managerial career, increased his already strong ties with United and he hasn’t given up on the idea that he might be back one day. He made all that clear to the players and demanded that they give their all to the new manager."</p>

WHAT HAS BEEN SAID

<p>With Van Nistelrooy’s departure, all eyes are now on Amorim as he prepares for his first game in charge. The Portuguese will debut as United head coach on November 24 in a Premier League clash against Ipswich Town at Portman Road.</p>
