Manchester City defender Ruben Diaz has sent a message to Ruben Amorim after joining Manchester United. Amorim took over as United’s new manager on Monday after being appointed earlier this month.

 

 

The 39-year-old arrived at United’s Carrington training ground on a private jet from Manchester Airport after playing his final game for Sporting CP in a 4-2 win over Braga on Sunday.

 

 

Hours later, United confirmed that Ruud van Nistelrooy, who had been caretaker manager for the last four games following the sacking of Erik ten Hag, would be leaving the club. Amorim decided not to keep Van Nistelrooy and will instead hire their own coaching staff.

 

 

Amorim have less than two weeks to prepare for their first game on Sunday, November 24, when United travel to Ipswich. Meanwhile, Amorim’s team-mate Diaz reacted to his United appointment and had a message for the former Braga and Benfica winger.

 

 

Diaz told Sky Sports: “When I was young and going to the first team [at Benfica], I had to make sure he was still there. I was definitely close. I wish him well, but not much. “I am happy that another Portuguese has appeared on the big stage of world football,” he said.

 

Van Nistelrooy won three of his four games as manager and held Chelsea to a draw. United beat Leicester 3-0 on Sunday thanks to own goals from Bruno Fernandes, Victor Christiansen and a last-minute goal from Alejandro Garnacho.

 

 

This is Manchester United’s fourth win in 11 Premier League games this season. “It was a professional game, you could see the players fighting throughout the game,” Van Nistelrooy said after the match. “We scored two great goals and had some good moments, but we couldn’t control the game.” “It was three important points in four games, Bruno scored important goals and provided assists, so he is ready to play again. The person who helps the team the most is Bruno.

 

“I spoke to Alejandro Garnacho before the game, he played a lot of minutes and we were hoping he would make an impact as a substitute and I’m glad he did. We said, ‘Let’s make the most of these four games,’ and I think we did a really good job.
