Fergie sets Ruud a target

From The M.E.N.

"If you create the chances he will get his fair share of goals, there is no doubt about that."

"To be honest we would have been happy with 25 from him last year but he was phenomenal.

"We expect Ruud to be much better this season because the one thing he didn't have last season was a campaign behind him.

" He came to us from PSV Eindhoven having been out of the game for a season with his knee ligament injury.

"He'll get a good pre-season behind him during which we'll work on his endurance and that will help him in the latter part of the season.

"What he achieved was terrific and we no fully expect him to improve."
