exclude myself, then my list of the best strikers, in order, would be Thierry
Henry, Vieri, Filippo Inzaghi and Hernan Crespo.
"But if you ask me about a partnership, then Christian Vieri is the player I'd
love to play alongside one day. We would be the perfect pairing - and calling
us 'Double V' would also be pretty cool."
Ruud also wants silverware this season:
"The time has come for me. I am absolutely desperate to win an important
trophy.
"I don't mind if it is the Premiership or the Champions League, though I want
both. But no matter how much hard work it means, I must win one of them.
"Barcelona's Patrick Kluivert pulls my leg when we are with Holland and says
'Where were you when I was winning the European Cup with Ajax?
"And I have to hit back at him and say: 'Where will you be when I win the
Champions League at Old Trafford this season?'
"Jokes are all very well, though. I just pray it comes true this time.
"Manchester United have everything to win the title or become champions of
Europe.
"But Arsenal are going so well too. They will be our major Champions League
rivals, along with Real Madrid."
