(Video) Ruud still has it & still loves the club

It’s no secret that we love Van Nistelrooy and he looks like he hasn’t lost his knack for hitting the back of the net. A United fan favourite he makes no secret of how highly he rates the club and when asked if it was hard to leave Real to join Hamburg Ruud replied,

“It was harder to leave Manchester United. That was my club, like PSV and Den Bosch. Real Madrid was different. I had a tremendous time there and a warm relationship with the fans, but Real is more business like. I had a reason to go and they had a reason to allow me. That’s all good. With Manchester, I had that thing with Sir Alex Ferguson and that hurt. That was emotional. For him too, I suppose. I didn’t have that emotional layer with Real. But I look back at my period there with great joy and pride and some of my best mates were there. I count Guti, Raul and Casillas as good friends and playing with Beckham is always a thrill.”
