Ruud Van Nistelrooy stacked the bench with academy talents on Wednesday night as Manchester United beat Leicester City 5-2, but for one talent it is Ruben Amorim who he is likely to shine under.
Manchester United is often associated with the phrase youth, courage and success. Something which has played a massive role in the history of the club.
From the Busby Babes to Sir Alex Ferguson’s Class of ’92, promoting from the academy to first team is something that runs in the blood of this football club.
For all his faults, Erik ten Hag also abided by the famous motto – something that earned him great credit within the fanbase and with Ineos likely kept him in his job for longer than he should have been.
Ten Hag’s greatest legacy at Old Trafford is that he established both Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho in the senior team at United.
In game one of his interim spell, Ruud van Nistelrooy also showed a willingness to use youth, with three players on the bench against Leicester who are yet to debut.
