Ruud van Nistelrooy’s future at Manchester United is uncertain ahead of Ruben Amorim’s appointment as manager, but goalkeeper Andre Onana says his players are keen for the Dutch coach to remain at the club.
Van Nistelrooy took over as interim manager following the sacking of Erik ten Haag and led United to a three-game unbeaten run and a 2-0 win over PAOK in the Europa League on Thursday. For over a year.
Former Manchester United striker Van Nistelrooy has said he wants to remain part of the club’s revamped management team after his interim term ends with Sunday’s Premier League home game against Leicester City.
Asked if United players want the same, Onana told TNT Sports: “100 per cent. He is a very good person and a very good coach.
“He is very experienced and gives us a lot of advice.
“What he is doing is fantastic and the players are happy, but in the end it is not up to us. The club makes the decision and we have to accept it.”
Van Nistelrooy said his only focus was preparing the team for his final game.
“Only one thing is busy on my mind,” he said.
“I’d like to play the last game temporarily. I want to prepare as best I can and give the players everything they need to perform at their best. Other than that, I’m not looking too far ahead, to be honest.”
