Van Bommel is the senior one. He can only be the jong PSV coachHas he become the manager of PSV senior team? Or is it the U19s?
More clinical then both Rooney and RVP I think. I don't remember a United forward more clinical than Ruud.Van Nistelrooy was my favourite player growing up, but I only could watch selected CL games as I didn't have cable for Premiership. And regarding this I have a question. How clinical was he in terms to scored chanced vs missed ones? Was he better than Rooney, RVP? It's always bugging me as I can't really watch whole past games and I'm curious.
There are hardly any player who had a better presence of mind and calmness that Van Nistelrooy had inside the box. Always takes a nice touch , sends the defender the other way and taps in. What a finisher, never seen anyone like him.Van Nistelrooy was my favourite player growing up, but I only could watch selected CL games as I didn't have cable for Premiership.

I fully agree, cant remember a Utd striker more clinical since I started following Utd in '83. Absolute beast .More clinical then both Rooney and RVP I think. I don't remember a United forward more clinical than Ruud.
Miles better. I'm sure he missed his fair share of chances but mostly even those tested the keeper. Simple put, Ruud was the most clinical penalty box footballer I've seen, let alone United striker. He made finishing look piss easy. A complete natural at it.Van Nistelrooy was my favourite player growing up, but I only could watch selected CL games as I didn't have cable for Premiership.

YepOne of the clips in the Fergie thread he mentions there was a player once who said Rooney and Ronaldo weren't good enough and he didn't want to wait around until they were. Ruud?

He's probably the most clinical striker I've ever seen, never mind just at United.Van Nistelrooy was my favourite player growing up, but I only could watch selected CL games as I didn't have cable for Premiership.

Yeah, a lot better in that category, though they were better than Ruud in some areas too. Different players, Ruud was a pure finisher and one of the best I've seen.... gets in my AT XI.Van Nistelrooy was my favourite player growing up, but I only could watch selected CL games as I didn't have cable for Premiership.

I agree!Best striker I have seen play for us
In my team every day of the week
Next time please don't bump a two year old thread.Has he become the manager of PSV senior team? Or is it the U19s?
I'd argue Solskjaer who could play anywhere across the front-line was a far superior footballer to RvNOnly United striker I've seen who can compare to Ruud's ruthlessness was Solskjaer, but of course didn't have as good an all round game.
Would be interested to see a comparison of their conversions rates, minutes per goal etc.
That's fair enough. As a central striker, I'd prefer Ruud. Great finishing and in my opinion better at holding the ball up than Ole. Although he wasn't known for speed, he'd often find a way to take it past players too.I'd argue Solskjaer who could play anywhere across the front-line was a far superior footballer to RvN
Great videos, he really was a devastating striker. Deadly and ruthless in the box. Intensity, passion and love for the badge and the fans. Oh for some of that genuineness right now!Seeing this thread updated made me feel nostalgic so I decided to look for some goal compilations. I hope others enjoy.
all manchester united goals
all real madrid goals
Yeah but I think selling Beckham (for me) unsettled Ruud. I think things could have been a lot different.In his physical prime 2001-2003 he was the best striker I have seen at the club. Was world class
Glad we sold him when we did. Still a great finisher but he lost a yard of pace, we played better counter attacking football without him in the team and his attitude began to stink up the place.
Also mustn't forget he looked for a way out in 2004 by getting his agent to speak to Barcelona and AC Milan officials
Giving it the incredible sulk because Fergie sold Becks was it still not on. Speaking to Barcelona to try and worm his way out behind our backs was not on...Yeah but I think selling Beckham (for me) unsettled Ruud. I think things could have been a lot different.
What does that mean? We had Keane for most of his time at the club. Then he was behind Neville, Rio and Giggs.Giving it the incredible sulk because Fergie sold Becks was it still not on. Speaking to Barcelona to try and worm his way out behind our backs was not on...
Ruud was one of our figureheads of the team around that time, an important player, the fans loved him......no wonder Fergie didnt give him the captain's armband during his whole time at the club
He took his chances regular. I used to bet on first goal scorer and won more than lost, with him. Great goalscorer.hold up player strong and he wasn't slow iether. Wouldn't mind a player like him now?Van Nistelrooy was my favourite player growing up, but I only could watch selected CL games as I didn't have cable for Premiership.
