" Manchester United were eliminated by eventual finalists Milan in the knockout stage after going scoreless in both legs. However the club rejected Real Madrid's bid for Van Nistelrooy giving the club a warning as Hamburg wants to keep hold of him until the transfer window ended.

Rutgerus Johannes Martinus "Ruud" van Nistelrooij (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈryt fɑn ˈnɪstəlroːi̯] ([Image] listen); born 1 July 1976) is a retired Dutch footballer. Van Nistelrooy hit 150 goals in just 219 games for United as well as being their all time European record goalscorer but fell out of favour towards the end of his tenure. After a season-and-a-half with Hamburg he moved back to Spain with Málaga in the summer of 2011.
