Van Nistelrooy told the Scottish Mirror:

“I was so disappointed to be left out of the last squad. I'm
desperate to be back in for the play-off matches. The
manager gave me his reasons for leaving me out and I had to
accept them. I thought everything had been sorted out but he
decided to leave me out to make an example of me.

“What happened has made me even more determined to come back
and help Holland get to the finals.”

And Van Nistelrooy had more praise for Darren Fletcher:
“Darren is a fantastic young player with a great future
ahead of him. He's broken into the first team at United this
season and has proved he can handle himself there.”
