Ruud van Nistelrooy might be saying farewell to Manchester United today, but not without sending a rallying call for incoming head coach Ruben Amorim.
The Premier League meeting with Leicester City will be Van Nistelrooy’s final game in charge as interim boss. He is waiting on a decision to be made over whether he will remain at the club in a coaching capacity under Amorim, who starts work at Carrington training complex tomorrow.
It may be Van Nistelrooy’s final game as caretaker boss, but Amorim will also take charge of his last match as Sporting CP manager at 6.46, away at Braga in the north of Portugal.
A start date of 11 November at United means Amorim will have little time to say his final goodbyes. Sporting face a 225-mile trek back to Lisbon after tonight’s game which will make for a late return.
