On November 11, 2024, Ruud van Nistelrooy's departure from Manchester United was confirmed as Rúben Amorim began his role as head coach. Van Nistelrooy had joined the club for a two-year term earlier in the summer as Erik ten Hag's assistant, but after only four months, he was let go with no position available under the new management setup. Despite expressing his desire to remain, Van Nistelrooy's exit coincided with the arrival of Amorim, who is expected to bring several of his own staff. United's players had reportedly advocated for Van Nistelrooy to stay, valuing his communication skills and wishing for a seamless transition between coaching staff amidst the club's struggles this season. However, Amorim's decision to establish his own team led to the conclusion of Van Nistelrooy's brief stint at the club.
