SIR BOBBY BACKS RUUD

Last updated : 02 June 2003 By Editor
Sir Bobby Charlton feels that Van Nistelrooy will become
United’s top goalscorer, an honour that he currently holds:

"If Ruud stays long enough, he will definitely claim my record.
He has the ability, pace, strength and is a born striker. He
doesn't see anything else other than the goals when he gets the
ball at his feet.

"He is totally focused from that moment and just homes in on
those goals. It makes him a hellishly dangerous striker. I'm
just glad he plays for us."
