Ruud van Nistelrooy 'devastated' after departure from Man United... with Ruben Amorim warned fans will call for Dutchman if he 'does not get the right results' straight away

Ruud van Nistelrooy has been left devastated following his exit from Manchester United this week.

Former Red Devils striker Van Nistelrooy took on the role of interim after Erik ten Hag's dismissal last month and led the side to three wins and a draw in a successful stint.

He capped off his short tenure with an emphatic 3-0 victory over Leicester on Sunday and previously stated his desire to stay on at Old Trafford despite being left in the dark about his future.

However, new boss Ruben Amorim, upon his arrival in Manchester, decided not to keep the Dutchman and instead opted to stick with his own staff as he prepares to take his first match against Ipswich on November 24.
