Ruud van Nistelrooy admitted he had been left ‘hurt’ and ‘disappointed’ after being shown the door by Manchester United last month.
Van Nistelrooy, one of the finest forwards in United’s history, had taken interim charge following the sacking of Erik ten Hag, but new boss Ruben Amorim decided he would not be part of his coaching plans.
On the day he was unveiled as new manager of Premier League strugglers Leicester, Van Nistelrooy revealed he held talks with Amorim and hinted he had been let go because his presence might have caused problems in future for the Portuguese boss.
