Ruben Amorim may be set to coach Manchester United following the departure of Erik ten Hag, but he won't be in charge when the Red Devils host Chelsea on Sunday. With that being the case, Ruud Van Nistelrooy will have a chance to lead the Red Devils for two more matches as Amorim joins in the middle of the month.
