RUUD van Nistelrooy is still waiting to hear if he will be part of the plans at Manchester United going forward.
The Red Devils' interim boss has taken charge of three games for the club but will be replaced by new manager Ruben Amorim on Monday.
Van Nistelrooy was appointed as Erik ten Hag's assistant manager this summer, but could now be surplus to requirement with the Dutchman sacked last week.
And despite valiantly stepping up to guide United through their post-Ten Hag fixtures, he's still none the wiser on where his future lies just FOUR DAYS before Amorim arrives.
No official decision has been made public on the future of the former Man Utd star yet and even he appears to be in the blue about what's happening - despite constantly checking his phone for updates.
Speaking to TNT Sport after he led United a 2-0 win over PAOK, he said: "I did [check my phone] when I left your [TNT] desk. I checked my WiFi an it was all on.
"But nothing yet. Patience, patience."
It looks like he will have to be patient as he waits for the execs at Old Trafford to decide his fate.
But first he has to prepare for his last game in charge of the club he represented 219 times as a player.
Van Nistelrooy will be in the technical area as boss for the final time before Amorim's imminent arrival for United's clash with Leicester this weekend.
SunSport exclusively revealed last week that the Man Utd first team are desperate to for Van Nistelrooy to stay, with an insider saying players have "made their feelings clear internally".
While the former Real Madrid star has said himself that he wants to stay and honour his assistant contract which is set to run until the end of next season.
His time in charge has seen him guide the team to a 2-0 win over PAOK, a 5-2 trashing of Leicester in the Cup and a 1-1 draw with Chelsea in the league.
Speaking last month, Van Nistelrooy said: "I decided to come back here for a very important reason.
“I came as an assistant to help the club move forward.
“It’s going to be a short job as an interim - that was communicated very clear.
“I was happy with that. I will then go back to my assistant contract that I have here for this season and next.
“When a new manager signs and conversations take place we have to see how things develop.”

Man United should not have rushed to sign a new coach,instead could have given vanesteroy a chance to prove himself.If Chelsea Coach Enzo fails to deliver then ruud vanesteroy will be an option.
