BECKHAM GAVE RUUD REAL ADVICE

"He was interested to know what it's like and I told him ‘It's the best in the world'. He's told me he's delighted to be part of this squad and he wants the season to start so he can show why he's been signed. At United, Ruud always got on the end of my crosses. We have an understanding just by looking at each other. He will definitely score a lot of goals.”
