RUUD MOMENTUM

Last updated : 03 April 2006 By editor

Ruud's goal on Saturday was his 150th for United in 214 appearances. Having last week lifted the Golden Boot as the first player in the Premiership to reach twenty goals this season van Nistlerooy continues to proves he is a crucial player for United.

From The Sun:


The Dutch striker bounced off the bench on Saturday to seal United's eighth straight Premiership victory — a 2-1 triumph at Bolton.

And it came just hours after the Blues' stuttering stalemate at Birmingham.

There is now a real belief at Old Trafford that they can pull off the comeback to beat them all. And having been a forlorn face on the touchline of late, Ruud is ready to be the Red Devils' hero once more.

Van Nistelrooy said: “The momentum is with us now and we aim to keep it that way.

“Whether I am going to be on the pitch for one minute or 90 minutes, I'm going to give it my all. If the chances come, I want to be there.”
