Ferguson hails Van Nistelrooy
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson says striker Ruud van Nistelrooy is getting even better.

The Dutchman scored United's first goal in Tuesday's 2-0 Champions League win over Stuttgart to equal Denis Law's record of 28 European goals for the club.

And Ferguson enthused: "It's a phenomenal record and he is a phenomenal player.

"Ruud is getting better and he's maturing. He works seriously at his football and you are seeing a more complete and rounded player than last year."

Van Nistelrooy also set up Ryan Giggs for United's second against Stuttgart as the Premiership giants extended their unbeaten run at home to 16 Champions League games.

Van Nistelrooy is a complete player - we don't have anyone in our team like that

"It was important from one aspect to keep our home record going. Our home record has been outstanding," said Ferguson, whose team will avoid any of the other group winners when the draw for the last 16 is made on Friday.

"It may also get us an easier type draw, but you can't get a much easier draw as the second-placed teams are very formidable.

"Stuttgart are a good team and that says a lot for Manchester United to score two goals against them. Given their record this season we are very pleased about that."

The match was also notable for the return of Paul Scholes, who made his first start since recovering from a groin injury.

"When you see some of the things he did, the passes, his composure and vision, it reminds you what we have missed over the past seven weeks," Ferguson said.

"He's a great player and great players are always missed."

Stuttgart coach Felix Magath has tipped United to lift the Champions League in May, particularly if Van Nistelrooy maintains his present form.

"Van Nistelrooy is a complete player. He can do absolutely everything; head, score, control the ball under pressure, create chances for others," said Magath.

"He is fantastic and we don't have anyone in our team like that.

"If you look at people like him and Ryan Giggs, they really make a big difference to Manchester United.

"That is why I think it is possible they could go right to the end of the competition."

How can you honestly believe that Van Nistelrooy is better than Thierry Henry

Here's a stat for you:

Henry is in the running for World Player of the Year.

van Nistelrooy isn't.

They're different players relaly. RVN is an all out striker.

It'd be awesome to have Henry playing for Utd as well.

Man, I hope we do win the CL again. this time I'll be old enough to go out and get toasted after the fact. Although I did last time too

Now RVN and Cantona in the same team. That'd have made me happy

everyone else at a professional level seems to do a good job of kissing Ruud's arse too, but nobody here takes much notice of that

IMO Henry is a skillsman and scores greater more spectacular goals

BUT

if you're a team who desperately needs goals, would you have RVN or TH?

I wouldn't swap Ruud for any other striker in the world.

The guy is getting better and better, as his assist for Giggsy's goal last night proved. The guy is pure class as his record in the Champions League tells you. 51 goals in his last 52 games at Old Trafford and 26 goals in 28 Champ's League appearances for us - the guy is pure quality and will become a United legend.

*goes off to kiss Ruud poster*

For once I agree with Wadding, he speaks the truth. Would you knife me if you saw me in the streets with my Caution:Nistelrooy Tee-shirt on.

Henry is much better. Last season if my facts are right here and I think they are RVN did of course score more but Henry almost kept up on him with goals while having the most assists in the premiership which is just outstanding.

Henry and Van nistelrooy are always continually linked with moves away from their respective clubs.

Can't Real Madrid just fucking die.


Barcelona don't merit a mention in their move for Henry because even i'd rather stay at arsenal and play in good matches than linger in la liga mid table
