FERGIE PRAISES RUUD
“I think Ruud van Nistelrooy's form has without question
been the deciding factor. When a centre-forward like that
scores the number of goals in the important games that he
has, it has to be the difference between the two teams. I
knew he was going to become a great player. But I didn't
know quite how good he was going to become, I must say that,
because he has surprised me almost every week.”

Ferguson’s views were backed up by Ryan Giggs who said:
"It's difficult to say where the title was won or lost but
you've got to say the form Ruud has shown in the last few
months has been a huge factor. Scholesy, Ole, Becks and me
have chipped in with our fair share of goals but Ruud has
given us the cutting edge at crucial times."
