Ruud ' I want Utd job one day'

Agreed 100%

He’ll get it after Amorim fails. Him or sir Gareth

I think Amorim would want his own assistant anyway but I think it's unfair to say Van Nistelrooy should be ruled out for being ambitious. He knows he's not in line to get a top job in the short term but nothing wrong with having the ambition and stating this should not go against him but be a positive. If anybody wants to show their ambition and want to get to the top then they know they have to work for it. You want somebody who is going to work for it, no matter their role.

For what it's worth it think Amorim is an excellent choice but only if he's given time. It's gonna take time to get the team playing how he wants and he's gonna basically need to sell and buy a whole new team to do it. You may think this is crazy right now but that's basically what Klopp did. If you look at the net spend it was ridiculous that he actually did this and got the trophies to show for it, especially when up against prime City.

A little foolish for him to say that.

Changes nothing.

He actually specifically stated he is in the frame of mind to be assistant for two years.

Do you want to manage united one day? What is he to say no? A man professing to love the club and wanting to take us back to the top. The same man has ambitions of becoming a top coach. It is a stupid question.

" Argh no, I do not want to manage this club one day."

Seems weird that he'd come in as an assistant knowing he'd likely be gone in a few months anyway unless he got the big job?

I bet he regrets not starting managerial work earlier on. He's almost 50 and barely managed anyone.

Amorim has already said he wants to bring five members of his staff with him, including his two assistants, Carlos Fernandes and Adelio Candido, who have been with him his entire managerial career.

The only question is whether we can get work permits for them all.
