Van Nistelrooy in rude health for Milan match

Manchester United marksman Ruud van Nistelrooy is hitting peak fitness just in time to make AC Milan suffer on one of the most dramatic nights in their illustrious history.

Van Nistelrooy could only make a belated substitute appearance at Old Trafford a fortnight ago as United suffered the 1-0 home defeat that leaves them distinct underdogs to advance into the quarter-finals.
