Ruben Amorim, the newly appointed manager of Manchester United, opted not to meet Ruud van Nistelrooy face-to-face before deciding to remove him from the first-team staff. Amorim is preparing to start his time at Old Trafford after reaching Manchester, with his initial game against Ipswich Town set for November 24. However, he has faced some tough choices concerning his coaching staff. The ex-Sporting Lisbon coach takes over from Van Nistelrooy, who had been in charge for the last four matches after Erik ten Hag was let go due to a bad start to the season. Although Van Nistelrooy guided the team to three wins in those four games, he has now departed from the club after Amorim chose not to add the legendary former striker to his coaching staff. The Athletic reports that if Amorim spoke with Van Nistelrooy before assuming his position, it was not in person. The article also indicates that United permitted Amorim to determine Van Nistelrooy’s future without being influenced by emotions. The 39-year-old is eager to leave his imprint on the club with his own team. READ MORE: What Ruben Amorim’s best United lineup might resemble with the return of the injured pair.

According to reports from the Mirror, Van Nistelrooy is thought to have departed United’s training facility around noon, while Amorim showed up a few hours later, making it unlikely for them to meet. Amorim arrived in Manchester around 1:45 PM, with his new coaching staff: Carlos Fernandes, Adelio Candido, Paulo Barreira, Emanuel Ferro, and Jorge Vital.
