Ruud van Nistelrooy may have helped Ruben Amorim discover his first Man United undroppable

New Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has likely kept an eye on the last three games at Old Trafford following confirmation of his appointment. In the last eight days, under interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy, the Reds have played Leicester, Chelsea and PAOK with two wins and one draw on the board.

A dominant Carabao Cup victory over the Foxes kicked off Van Nistelrooy's temporary tenure with a 1-1 draw against Chelsea coming soon after. In the Europa League, United won 2-0, which was their first three points of the campaign, and picked up a clean sheet for the first time in six games.

In the meantime, Amorim has overseen two dominant Sporting CP victories with one of those against Manchester City. Viktor Gyokeres bagged a hat-trick in their 4-1 Champions League victory with that coming four days prior to beating Estrela da Amadora 5-1.

A forward could instead be preferred in that role especially as Amad, Bruno
