Fergie: 'Striker leaving is Ruud joke'

Alex Ferguson has again declared that Ruud van Nistelrooy is going nowhere despite fresh reports linking the Dutchman with a move to Real Madrid.

Just seven days after Van Nistelrooy and Ferguson joined forces to state the striker would still be at Old Trafford next season, speculation has erupted in the Spanish capital that the striker is about to sign a contract with the nine-times European Cup winners.
