Advocaat rejects Ruud talk
Ruud van Nistelrooy
Ruud van Nistelrooy has scored four goals for Holland at Euro 2004
Dutch coach Dick Advocaat has dismissed claims that Manchester United might sell Ruud van Nistelrooy to Real Madrid to fund a bid for Wayne Rooney.

Newspaper reports have again claimed that the Holland striker is set for a �30m move to Spain, but Advocaat has reassured United supporters.

"As far as I know Ruud's just signed a new contract for another four years.

"He's happy there, the manager's happy with him, everybody's happy with him - why would he go?" said Advocaat.

"In my opinion, Ruud's the best striker around. It's incredible how he's playing.

"He is a gift from God. He works his socks off and you can see that he's desperate to get the result he wants - to get into the final and score more goals."
