Ruud van Nistelrooy - Legend

Ruud van Nistelrooy

What a player this man is, in my opinion when he leaves United he will be remembered just like Cantona has been. When he scores a goal you can see he has the same passion the fans do for United, 100% a RED

In my opinion him Henry and Crespo are the best 3 strikers in the world at the moment, and I wouldn’t swap Ruud for anybody,

This is van Nistelrooy’s career

Started at Den Bosch (as a midfielder!) scored 12 goals in 13 apps.

Signed for Heerenveen scored 13 goals in 31 apps.

Signed for PSV and scored 60 goals in 57 games.

And then he had that shocking Injury and after a year we finally got him.

Ruud scored 35 Goals in his first season at United and so far this season he has scored 18 goals, in a season defenders would have supposedly found him out.

He has scored 9 goals in 21 games for Holland

In the champions league for Both United and PSV he has scored 29 goals in 30 games, and 19 of those goals he scored for United.

How fvcking good is this player? For me the 19 Million we paid for him was an absolute bargain. He’s only 26 and in the next two seasons he will be hitting his prime, When he retires he will go down as one of United’s best ever strikers and I reckon we should get a stature of him just like we do of Denis Law in the Stretford End.

People say he doesn’t score against the big clubs, what a load of shite that is, just look at the stats above, Ruud can score against anybody, he has proved it scoring against Liverpool,Deportivo, Levekusen home & away Munich home & away and the likes of Chelsea in the premiership,

People also say Ruud scores tap ins and not great goals, well if it’s so easy to score tap inn’s why doesn’t the rest of the premiership strikers do that week in week out then?? The fact remains is that Ruud is a predator, and when United attack he will get himself in that 6 yard box looking for the goal, THAT is the way United play, Ruud isn’t going to score fantastic goals from outside the box, our wingers don’t pull crosses back to the edge of the box we like to get the ball straight in there,

Ruud is up there with the best and keeps proving his critics wrong by bagging in the goals,

Keep it up Ruud

Great account, Rage. Ruud is such a phenomenal player. May he stay injury free and we will have some absolutely memorable years at United and Old Trafford.
 
nice 1 rage.. a fitting and well deserved tribute...

his record for PSV was amazing...but doesn't surprise me... since hes shown that at United too...

Don't know if any1 saw it but Andy Gray pulled up these Premier League stats comparing the scoring ratio of all the top strikers...

Owen 1 goal every 2.3 games...
Shearer 1 goal every 1.5 games...
Ruud 1 goal every 1.45 games...

says it all really...
 
Just to follow on from that... shearer is close to Ruud in the premier league...

However if u compare their stats in the superior Champions League competition... Ruud has scored 18 in 19 games for United and 10 for PSV... while Shearer has never scored form open play... and hes played abt 20 games...

Just goes to show Ruud is the best...

Well, if you look at minutes played he scores a goal every 85-90 minutes played... Amazing. :D

(I don't know how the figures would be for the other guys.)
