equalled the club record set by Denis Law.
VAN NISTELROOY EQUALS RECORD
After the match, Fergie hailed this achievement:
"It's a phenomenal record and he is a phenomenal player.
"Ruud is getting better and he's maturing. He works
seriously at his football and you are seeing a more complete
and rounded player than last year."
Ruud was happy about it too:
“I am proud I have equalled the record of a player like
Denis Law. I have a lot of respect for him. It is fantastic.
I have seen some videos of Denis in his heyday and he was a
great goalscorer. And I only have to look at his record to
realise how good he was. I also hear a lot of stories of how
good a striker Denis was.
“United have a great history and all those players are still
heroes here and it is great to be level with him. I respect
him so much and what he achieved.”
