Chilled-out Ruud waiting to be told his Man Utd future
- Published
Ruud van Nistelrooy was his usual chilled-out self when he spoke to the media on Thursday.
He may be an interim boss but Van Nistelrooy is vastly experienced when it comes to press conference.
Manchester United's new communications chief Toby Craig sat in at the back of the room to hear Van Nistelrooy's assessment of the past few days.
In one sense, Craig had nothing to worry about.
Van Nistelrooy said he felt sad for what had happened to Erik ten Hag but that he understands what happens when managers do not get results. He did not say anything that would give away when Ruben Amorim will be cleared to take over and confirmed his focus was on Sunday's game against Chelsea.
But Van Nistelrooy also mentioned his contract, twice, and the fact it has just over 18 months to run. Very wise.
