He himself has 150 goals in a Man United shirt, and since October, Ruud van Nistelrooy has made sure that the players and supporters have regained confidence and hope. The Dutchman has set the table for Ruben Amorim. Although the super substitute would prefer to stay to help his club, he shows in his first statement after Amorim gave the thumbs down for continuing as an assistant, that he is a whole United fire.
Instead of expressing displeasure at being sent away after leading United to three wins and a draw, Van Nistelrooy offers an honest and grateful tribute to the club he has served.
