**Manchester, England** – Ruud van Nistelrooy, the interim manager of Manchester United, has expressed his desire to remain at the club in any capacity following his impressive start in the role. Van Nistelrooy led the Red Devils to a resounding 5-2 victory over Leicester City in the League Cup on Wednesday, a result that saw him receive enthusiastic applause from the Old Trafford crowd.

The former United striker took over after the sacking of Erik ten Hag, who was dismissed following a disappointing start to the season. Despite the difficult circumstances, Van Nistelrooy guided his team to a convincing win, with captain Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro both scoring two goals each.

Speaking to reporters after the match, Van Nistelrooy emphasized his commitment to the club, stating, “I came in as an assistant to help the club and now in this role I’m helping as long as I’m needed and in the future in any capacity. I’m here to help, I’m here to serve, I’m here to give my everything for the club in any capacity.”

He was particularly pleased with the performance of Casemiro, who had faced criticism after a disappointing performance against Liverpool earlier in the season. “I was delighted for Casemiro, the way he’s been training and helping the team and the club, he’s such an example,” Van Nistelrooy said.

While Van Nistelrooy acknowledged the difficult circumstances surrounding ten Hag’s departure, he stressed his dedication to the club. “The days leading up to this were with mixed feelings, sad to see Erik go, he was the one who got me here,” he said.

However, Van Nistelrooy’s reign as interim manager is expected to be short-lived, with Sporting Lisbon manager Ruben Amorim rumored to be in line for the permanent position. Amorim is not expected to join the Red Devils until after the next international break, meaning Van Nistelrooy will be in charge for the upcoming Premier League match against Chelsea on Sunday.
