Rio Ferdinand has expressed concern over new Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim's decision to exclude Ruud van Nistelrooy from his coaching staff. Despite Van Nistelrooy's successful interim management, leading to three wins in four matches, Amorim opted to bring in his own team from Sporting Lisbon. Ferdinand argues that Van Nistelrooy could have served as a valuable connection to the players and a stabilizing presence. He questions the reasoning behind letting go of such a popular figure, noting the potential distraction Van Nistelrooy's legacy might pose for Amorim. The club confirmed the departures of Van Nistelrooy and other coaches on the same day Amorim officially took charge. Ultimately, Ferdinand believes that Amorim's choice reflects the challenges of transitioning into a leadership role while managing the expectations tied to a club legend.
