ONE of Manchester United's greatest ever defenders Jaap Stam has issued a come-and-get-me plea to Ruben Amorim. The current Dutch amateur side manager, 52, has offered up his services to Amorim, who has endured a tough first month at Old Trafford. "I think everyone who has been associated with the club would love to go back and help, having been in management myself I have coached and helping them in any role would be great.

"I’m always open for talks because I’d love to see the club back winning trophies and maybe I could help coach the defence. "But with the manager lots of new staff has come in so they have plenty of options. But you never know.". United's leaky defence has been lambasted over the last 12 months, as they conceded 81 goals last season - the highest total since 1976.

It was the first time in Prem history that a United side finished the season with negative goal difference as they yielded 58 to 57 goals scored. And the backline was embarrassed again on Thursday as Spurs went 3-0 up inside 55 minutes of United's 4-3 Carabao Cup quarter-final loss.

This isn't the first time Stam has advertised himself to his former club's owners as he made similar pleas when Erik ten Hag was announced. FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS. Speaking to Betting Expert in 2021, Stam said: "If they would ask me to take a coaching role, I would do it straight away without a doubt.".
