No place for 'United legend' van Nistelrooy

The Dutchman, a former star striker at the club, was put in temporary charge after Erik ten Hag was sacked in October.

He oversaw three wins and a draw in his four-match spell, signing off with a 3-0 victory against Leicester City in the Premier League on Nov 10.

The former PSV Eindhoven boss, appointed as an assistant manager in July on a two-year contract, had voiced a desire to stay at Old Trafford to work with Amorim.

But United issued a statement confirming the 48-year-old would not be part of the new coaching set-up.
