Ruud rumours

According to reports from Spain, Real Madrid have been offered Ruud van Nistelrooy.

The Dutchman's future at United has been in doubt since he was left out of United's starting line-up for their Carling Cup final over Wigan in February.

It was a start of a run of games in which Louis Saha was started ahead of Ruud.

Ruud has started the last three games for United, but many still expect him to be on the way out of Manchester United this summer.

Reports in Spanish daily Marca suggested that Ruud has been offered to Real Madrid.

It was rumoured that Ruud is planning to seek a new challenge.

It was reported that Ruud's age and previous knee injury could be a potential stumbling block to this rumoured transfer.
