RUUD'S COMING HOME

Last updated : 26 June 2006 By Ed
Ruud van Nistelrooy is hoping to sort out his United future and has given the club a deadline.

'I would like the situation to be sorted out sooner rather than later,' said the 29-year-old.

'There must be some sort of contact between the club and myself over the next few days.

'As I have said a number of times before, if nothing happens I will be at Manchester United next season.

'Maybe in the coming weeks, we have to see what United do and whether other clubs get involved.

'Whatever will happen will happen. I have to assess the situation and see what is the best for me.'
