Ruud van Nistelrooy

Oh my Ruud – a fantastic striker with an insane ability to score goals. Was a Manchester United legend in the making before a spat with Ronaldo and differences with SAF led him to Real Madrid, where he proceeded to score 20+ goals, again, showing that despite the title, Manchester United still missed a player of Ruud’s class.

Forget what they say about Holland and Manchester United playing better without Ruud or Ruud not fitting their style of play – that’s all bollocks from people who allow managers to form their opinions.

Ruud van Nistelrooy can fit into any attacking system and is an excellent striker.

The Divorce of Manchester United and Ruud van Nistelrooy

Breakups are never pretty. No matter how dream-like the early years have been, there is always the inevitable fallout and backbiting that goes on after the relationship is over. For Manchester United fans who have defended Ruud van Nistelrooy’s abilities as a world-class striker for so many years, to see him leave like this with…

Manchester United Need Rossi To Replace Ruud

I’m not convinced that Manchester United have the transfer budget to attract another striker to fill Ruud’s boots. Actually, let me rephrase that: I don’t think there is any striker available on the market (and I include Ibrahimovic, Tevez and Defoe in this list) who can fill in for the man.

Ruud’s Almost Gone And Finally, The Transfer Wheels Start Creakin’

I’ll spare you the rumours and give the ‘confirmed’ news first: Manchester United are saying: “Manchester United give permission for Ruud van Nistelrooy to travel to Real Madrid for a medical. “However, terms of agreement are yet to be finalised between the two clubs.” Real Madrid are saying: “Real Madrid announce they have an agreement…
