MUFC Choosing Amorim Over Ruud van Nistelrooy Was Disappointing – Kleberson

Ex-Manchester United midfielder, Kleberson has come out to say that Ruben Amorim becoming Red Devils’ coach over Ruud van Nistelrooy is disappointing. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, Ruud has the needed passion to manage Manchester United, and since he knows all about the culture of the club, he was the perfect candidate to take over from Erik ten Hag.

Kleberson added that even if Amorim is a young and exciting coach, Van Nistelrooy was the better option.

His words, “I would like to see Ruud be the manager of United, 100 percent – he has a passion for the club. He has a lot of stuff from Ferguson, and I know that they have spoken a lot from being there together. The biggest thing is that Ruud knows the culture of the club, that Ferguson helped put in place. He knows the club, and can make change and the players will listen to him more because he was a great player and goal scorer in the history of the club. Ruud would know how to play the locker room, how the guys are feeling, and whilst I love Amorim as a young coach and the amazing things that he has done at Sporting, I really would have loved to have seen how Ruud would do as manager.”

On ETH, “I feel so sorry for Ten Haag leaving United, but we know that football is all about winning games and getting trophies, and people in football want things to happen quickly and they don’t have patience. But to see Ruud on the side against Leicester managing United, I was so happy for him because I know him well and how prepared he would be for this and how he would bring back the old spirit to United. To see him on the side of the field, it was great to see as a friend, and I was really happy for him.”

WOW.

Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.

Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.

Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.

The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992, beating Nottingham Forest 1–0 in the second to win that competition for the first time as well.
