Ruud van Nistelrooy, the interim manager of Manchester United, has voiced his displeasure at the team’s draw with Chelsea.
Enzo Maresca’s Blues held United to a 1-1 draw on Sunday at Old Trafford.
Bruno Fernandes gave the home team the lead in the 70th minute after converting a penalty kick. After it was determined that Robert Sanchez had brought down Rasmus Hojlund, United was given the penalty.
But Moises Caicedo’s strong shot to guarantee that the points were split ended the lead after just four minutes.
Due to the outcome, the Red Devils are now in 13th place with 12 points out of a possible 30.
Van Nistelrooy shared his assessment of the game in an interview with Sky Sports following the game. The Dutchman specifically identified the team’s wastefulness as a factor that ultimately cost them.
Alejandro Garnacho had numerous scoring opportunities, but he wasted them all and none of them were converted. Fernandes and Marcus Rashford both had chances but were unable to increase the team’s goal total.
“We had the better of the chances in the game, but overall the performance was fantastic,” Van Nisterooy stated, expressing disappointment that we did not win. On the field, they gave it their best.
“The goal, when Old Trafford exploded, was a fantastic moment.” Bruno Fernandes handled it nicely, and his feelings were evident.
He reaffirmed that until Ruben Amorim formally takes over on November 11, his attention is on overseeing the forthcoming games.
“I have loved every moment of this week; it has been very memorable. I will support the new manager and work to ensure the club’s growth since I am here to help.
“Everyone at the new club is focused on the two upcoming games, which are very important, but we will work hard to make this club better every day.” “We are behind the new manager.”
United’s next match is against PAOK in the Europa League on Thursday.
