Alex Ferguson believes that Ruud's record breaking display was not the major
factor in last night's game, he said
RUUD'S REAL ACHIEVEMENT
Last Updated : 16-Sep-2004 by Editor"Denis Law was one of the greatest players of all time - but van Nistelrooy is
fantastic. I can't praise him enough in what was only his second game in four
months."
"We all know Ruud is a fantastic goalscorer,"
"He has broken records already and will continue to do so.
"But his greatest achievement tonight was to play almost a full game, take a
number of challenges, some of which were really unfair, and also score two
goals.
"Having not played any real football in almost four months, that was a remarkable feat in itself."
