RUUD ‘FEARS'

Last updated : 06 March 2006 By editor

No quotes and no evidence but The Sun keep the rumour mill grinding on:

‘Ruud Van Nistelrooy fears he could be the next big name to exit Old Trafford.

There will be no bigger indication that is the case than if the Dutch striker is left out of tonight’s Manchester United side to face Wigan.


Van Nistelrooy is fit to play at the JJB Stadium having pulled out of Holland’s midweek friendly against Ecuador with a stomach complaint.

But he remains unhappy with his Carling Cup final snub eight days ago, when he was left on the bench.


The Premiership’s 19- goal top scorer revealed he expected to go straight back into the side against Paul Jewell’s men.’


The Telegraph also expect Ruud to be in tonight’s starting line up.
