I just want to stay and do the same thing and, for me, that’s my focus for the moment.” The makeup of Amorim’s backroom setup is yet to be confirmed, with the incoming boss keen to bring some staff with him from Sporting.
However, Van Nistelrooy is clearly keen to remain at Old Trafford and United defender Diogo Dalot has revealed the players want him to stay too. “I think he has that quality,” Dalot told Sky Sports.
“Obviously, it’s not going to be my decision, but I really like the way that he approaches as an assistant. He is obviously now in an interim job, he has the capacity to do it because he was a head coach
“So he has this ability of being on both sides, he knows how to do each part and then obviously if the club decides, I will be more than happy to have him here. I think he’s trying to obviously win, that’s the biggest thing for him.
“But he’s also trying to make himself feel good, give good energy for the people that are watching. The fans have to come to Old Trafford and be excited about the game, at least know we are giving everything for the club.”
