Ruud van Nistelrooy was a born goal scorer.
He’s United all time leading scorer in the Champions League, and won the PFA Player of the year in 2002 while scoring 33 times for the Red Devils.
In face, he scored 150 times in just 219 matches for the club.
"“Ruud would certainly be worth now, with the market, probably a billion pounds!” Fellow United legend Roy Keane said to reporters this week."
While that may be a slight stretch, there’s not doubt he is one the all-time great United No. 10’s.
