RUUD STILL UNSURE

In the space of six months Ferguson has ushered Roy Keane towards an acrimonious exit and paved the way for Ruud van Nistelrooy to depart in rancorous circumstances. A Dutch television crew spoke briefly to Van Nistelrooy at Holland's training camp yesterday and asked him if United were trying to "get rid" of him. "You could have that feeling," he replied. "I don't, because it's not that certain. But what has happened is not a positive sign and I have to weigh that up."
