Ruben Amorim's five Man United demands provides Ruud van Nistelrooy future uncertainty

Incoming Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is reportedly set to bring five members of his team from Sporting Lisbon to Old Trafford, casting doubt on Ruud van Nistelrooy's future at the club.

Van Nistelrooy, who took over as interim manager following Erik ten Hag's dismissal on Monday, will continue in this capacity until Amorim takes the reins on November 11. This means the Dutch legend will be at the helm for United's forthcoming fixtures against Chelsea, PAOK, and Leicester.

The fate of Van Nistelrooy remains uncertain amidst these developments. The Daily Mail suggests that Amorim is keen to have five of his own backroom staff accompany him from Sporting Lisbon, including four coaches and a sports scientist.

While Manchester United is expected to reveal the composition of Amorim's support staff soon, no official announcement is anticipated this weekend. Reports indicate that Carlos Fernandes, Adelio Candido, and Jorge Vital, all of whom have previously worked with Amorim at Braga, are among those he wishes to bring to United.

Speaking on Friday night for the first time since his appointment, Amorim confirmed he will take some members of his staff. "I will take my staff with me. That was always one of my conditions. I brought them with me since Casa Pia," he said.

The shake-up of the coaching staff at Old Trafford could spell the end of Van Nistelrooy's short time at the club. However, the ex-striker has expressed his desire to stay.

"It's going to be a short job as an interim," he acknowledged before
