Ruud: 'I want to be here'
Saturday May 01 2004
Ruud van Nistelrooy has insisted he can achieve all his career ambitions at
Manchester United.
The prolific Dutch striker faced the media yesterday alongside Roy Keane and
Sir Alex Ferguson to confirm his intention to stay at Old Trafford following
frenzied speculation that he was heading for Barcelona or Real Madrid this
summer.
Despite scoring an incredible 106 goals in less than three seasons since his
#18.5million move from PSV Eindhoven, van Nistelrooy has only a single
Premiership winners' medal to show for his efforts and with Arsenal
reclaiming the title last weekend, the FA Cup now represents the Red Devils'
only chance of silverware this term.
However, the relative barren run of trophies has done nothing to dissuade
van Nistelrooy's opinion that he is at a club that can fulfil his lofty aims
for the future.
The Dutch international only signed a new five-year contract in January and
nothing that has happened since has caused him to doubt that decision.
``I can fulfil all my ambitions at Manchester United,'' he said.
``That is why I committed myself to the club for so long. I want to be part
of this team, this club, for the next four years.
``Before I signed my new contract I spoke with the manager and the club
about their plans for the future.
``I know where the club is going and I want to be part of it because they
are good plans.
``I don't have a clause in my contract - I don't need one because I want to
be here.''
It is thought United chief executive David Gill gave his backing to
yesterday's unprecedented move in an effort to halt what Ferguson described
as the `dangerous and malicious gossip' that both van Nistelrooy and Keane
will be quitting at the end of the season.
Similar stringent denials surrounding David Beckham 12 months ago have led
both fans and pundits to adopt a sceptical approach but Red Devils officials
have been keen to stress then chief executive Peter Kenyon has now moved on,
as has former director of communications Paddy Harverson.
For his part, Keane confirmed he expects to spend the rest of his career at
Old Trafford and is convinced the club will bounce back from their failure
to retain the championship this season.
``We have had one or two disappointments this season but you have to be
humble and give credit to the other teams,'' said the Irishman, who also
claimed there had been no fall-out with Ferguson over his international
retirement U-turn.
``The best team wins the league - no-one at this club is denying that and
the simple truth is we have lost too many games.
``But sometimes you have to take a step back and now we are looking to
finish with three important league games, plus the FA Cup, and re-group in
pre-season.
``That's what we have always done, that's what this club is all about.
``We are looking to come back stronger than ever. We have done it before
when we have lost championships and I am sure we will again.''
