The Red Devils were the better team against the Blues at home, but they lacked the cutting edge in the final third on several occasions.

Alejandro Garnacho was guilty of missing big chances and speaking after the game, Van Nistelrooy said that he is slightly disappointed.

He said: "Overall the chances we created, we could have scored one more to win the game. It was a shame we couldn't. Overall I'm slightly disappointed we didn't win."

United scored their only goal from the penalty spot and the next manager has a huge job on his hands to improve the club's fortunes up front.

Ruben Amorim is set to take charge when the international break begins and United fans will be hoping for a turnaround from his debut.

Van Nistelrooy has two more games against PAOK and Leicester City to come. He could then depart as Amorim may not want him as an assistant.
