Fergie rejects Real offer for Ruud

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has warned Real Madrid they must up their offer for Ruud van Nistelrooy or risk missing out on the Dutch striker.

It seems only a matter of time before a deal goes through, although Real will clearly have to get much nearer United’s £15m (€21.91m) valuation for the player than the £10m (€14.61m) it is believed they have bid.
