Interim Manchester United manager Ruud van Nistelrooy has made a bold commitment to support the club’s progression following their recent 1-1 draw with Chelsea.

Van Nistelrooy assumed temporary control after Erik ten Hag’s dismissal, which came on the heels of a disappointing loss to West Ham—United’s fourth defeat of the 2024/25 season, leaving them worryingly closer to the relegation zone than the top four.

How has United performed under van Nistelrooy?

In his short tenure, the Dutchman has managed to lift spirits slightly, with a 5-2 EFL Cup victory and a hard-fought draw against Chelsea, showing glimpses of a turnaround.

Despite these improvements, United moved swiftly to name Sporting CP’s Ruben Amorim as the club’s new permanent manager, aiming to stabilise their season with fresh leadership, per Sky Sports.

Van Nistelrooy's vow after Chelsea draw

With Amorim’s appointment confirmed, van Nistelrooy has expressed his commitment to aiding United’s transition under the new leadership despite the uncertainty surrounding his own future at Old Trafford.

Van Nistelrooy’s statement reflects a willingness to prioritise Manchester United’s growth above all else, demonstrating his loyalty to the club.

As Amorim prepares to take the helm, van Nistelrooy's support could provide a valuable bridge, fostering continuity and stability during this critical transition.

Man City boss Guardiola welcomes Amorim

Guardiola's Manchester City, who have encountered Amorim's team in previous matches, will face them once again in the upcoming Champions League clash on Tuesday.
