Ruud van Nistelrooy has held his first press conference as Man United interim manager ahead of the Chelsea match.
Ruud van Nistelrooy is eager to remain at Manchester United as an assistant coach after his interim head coach stint ends.
Van Nistelrooy was in the dugout for United's 5-2 League Cup victory over Leicester on Wednesday night and the 48-year-old will remain in charge for the Premier League visit of Chelsea on Sunday. Van Nistelrooy could also manage United against PAOK in the Europa League and Leicester in the league next week before the November internationals.
"I felt I was called upon to help the club forward in this situation. Obviously, it was difficult that Erik had to leave, I was very disappointed, obviously with very mixed feelings about that but you have to switch the mindset to win because 75,000 people are waiting and celebrating and millions are watching at home. That's what we tried to do, same for Sunday and then we'll see.
