Van Nistelrooy had been put in charge on an interim basis as Amorim waited for the international break to ditch Sporting Lisbon and move to England.
The Dutch legend brought back some semblance of stability at the club, leading the Red Devils to three wins and one draw in the four games he was in charge.
