Interim coach Van Nistelrooy performed a wild celebration as he first ran down the touchline and then jumped and fisted the air.

The Red Devils’ celebrations, however, were shortlived as Moises Caicedo scored the equaliser four minutes later to make sure his team left Old Trafford with at least a point.

The Dutch coach took charge of the team on an interim basis after Erik ten Hag left last week.

United have appointed Ruben Amorim as their permanent coach who will take charge from next week.

Explaining his celebration after the game, the 48-year-old told Sky Sports, “It was a great moment, the goal, when Old Trafford explodes.

“Bruno Fernandes did well taking it and the emotion came out.

“This week has been special, I have enjoyed every second of it.

“I am here to help and will get behind the new manager and make sure the club grows.

“”We are behind the new manager, everyone at the new club is focusing on the two games that are coming which are very important but then we will work hard to make this club better every day.”
