Van Nistelrooy puzzled by Ferguson snub

RUUD VAN NISTELROOY has admitted he simply cannot understand why his Manchester United career appears to be in ruins.

The prolific striker seems certain to have played his last game for the Red Devils following an amazing fall-out with Alex Ferguson prior to the final Premiership game against Charlton earlier this month which led the United boss to order van Nistelrooy out of the team hotel.

That bust-up followed Ferguson’s decision to repeatedly omit van Nistelrooy — one of only eight players to score 150 goals for the Old Trafford outfit – in favour of Louis Saha and finally Giuseppe Rossi over the latter weeks of the campaign.
