Leicester’s Ruud van Nistelrooy ‘hurt’ by enforced exit from Manchester United

‘I was disappointed, very much so,’ he admits
Dutchman ready to ‘work around the clock’ for new club

Ruud van Nistelrooy said he was “hurt” that Ruben Amorim’s arrival at Manchester United triggered his exit after a promising interim spell. Van Nistelrooy impressed during his four games in charge after the sacking of Erik ten Hag, opening doors to various jobs in England and overseas, with Leicester winning the race for his services. Van Nistelrooy’s first game in charge of his new club is at home against West Ham on Tuesday.

Van Nistelrooy said that although he was disappointed to leave United he quickly came to terms with his departure after amicable talks with Amorim and is ready to “work around the clock” to lift Leicester, who are a point above the Premier League relegation zone after Saturday’s 4-1 defeat at Brentford. The Dutchman left Old Trafford with his reputation enhanced, “astonished” at the spike in interest.
