Manchester United has confirmed the departure of Ruud van Nistelrooy following the arrival of new manager Ruben Amorim on Monday.
The 48-year-old Dutchman took over at Old Trafford on an interim basis after compatriot Erik ten Hag was sacked having joined the club as an assistant coach in July on a two-year deal.

In his interim role, he managed three victories and a draw in his four games but Amorim has decided against retaining the services of the tactician who spent five seasons at United as a player.
A statement from United noted, “Ruud is, and always will be, a Manchester United legend. We are grateful for his contribution and how he has approached his role throughout his time with the club. He will always be very welcome at Old Trafford.”
United confirmed that fellow coaches Rene Hake, Jelle ten Rouwelaar and Pieter Morel have also left the club. However, former United midfielder Darren Fletcher will remain in his coaching role and continue his link between the first team and the academy.
The departure of the coaches came on a day that Amorim officially began his work at United where he has 13 days to prepare the team for the next game away against Ipswich.
