Ruud Van Nistelrooy has left Manchester United, the club has confirmed with Ruben Amorim beginning his reign at Old Trafford this week.

The United legend took charge following the sacking of Erik ten Hag and guided the Red Devils to victory in his final game against Leicester on Sunday to set up the Portuguese coach during the international break.

But after Amorim’s arrival at the Carrington training ground on Monday, a decision has been reached to part ways.

A club statement read: “Manchester United can confirm that Ruud van Nistelrooy has left the club. Ruud rejoined in the summer and has taken charge of the team for the past four matches as interim head coach. Ruud is, and always will be, a Manchester United legend.

“We are grateful for his contribution and the way in which he has approached his role throughout his time with the club. He will always be very welcome at Old Trafford.

“Rene Hake, Jelle ten Rouwelaar and Pieter Morel have also departed and we wish them all well for the future. We will confirm the full men’s first team coaching composition in due course.”
