VAN NISTELROOY TO REMAIN IN CHARGE AT UNITED FOR CHELSEA MATCH – Ruud Van Nistelrooy stepped up from his assistant coach role
Ruud van Nistelrooy is well aware that his interim manager stint at Manchester United will be a short one, but the Dutchman said that he expected to still be in charge for this weekend’s Premier League clash at home to Chelsea.
Former United striker Van Nistelrooy stepped up from his assistant coach role at the club after the sacking of Erik ten Hag on Monday, October 28th, and Sporting coach Ruben Amorim is widely expected to be installed as manager at Old Trafford very soon.
The temporary coach got off to a winning start with a 5-2 League Cup quarter-final win over visitors Leicester City on Wednesday, and at Thursday’s press conference, it was suggested he will still be there for the game with Chelsea on Sunday.
