"It is good to have people who say what they feel because they care about the club,"
"When I came to Manchester United, we were unbeatable," said Van Nistelrooy. "I remember games when I had four or five opportunities, constant service and we attacked. It was great and I enjoyed it.
"We all want those days to come back. The question is how do we do it.
"We need to look at the squad; look at everything. Each of us knows within themselves what is going to happen.
"Without doubt, this is the most difficult time I have had since I came to United. But I am not going anywhere.
"I am committed to this club and now, in the bad times, I just want to give it my all. Over the coming years, it is personal to me to get United back to where I, and everyone associated with the club, wants to see them."
"When you get criticised, you can get angry but you can also think about it, hold it before yourself, look at it and see if it is true," said the 29-year-old.
"You cannot do anything about the things which are said and written. But it is good to have people who say what they feel because they care about the club.
"It is always important we keep doing that. You have to take something good out of any criticism - and that will only help us.
"The main thing is we are all still together and what we have seen this week just pulls us together even more."
