Manchester. here is a headline.
Manchester United is fighting to stay on the second place in the Premiership. De team played a weak game on Old Trafford against Middelsbrough on Monday night. Specially the first half, the team of manager Alex Ferguson made a very weak impression.
Middelsbrough, that wanted to keep their team free from injuries for the UEFA Cup final, didn't feel anything for it to make the game. The first fourty-five minutes both parties hardly got any open chances, and the best were for Middelsbrough.
When Cristiano Ronaldo came into the field The Mancunians got more grip on the match, and attacked more. Thirthy minutes before the end, United got the ultimate opportunity to make 1-0. Borough midfielder Lee Cattermole made hands and United got a penalty. Ruud van Nistelrooij, who started the match for the injured Wayne Rooney, stepped up for goal 151 for United. Unfortunately Van the Man missed, and United lost 2 points.

His name is spelled Ruud van Nistelrooy (full name: Rutgerus Johannes Martinius van Nistelrooy).
He's played (and still plays) soccer for several international teams:
1993–1997 -- FC Den Bosch
1997–1998 -- SC Heerenveen
1998–2001 -- PSV Eindhoven
2001–2006 -- Manchester United
2006- -- Real Madrid
So he doesn't play for Manchester United.. He plays for Real Madrid professionally.
But yes, he plays for his home country the Netherlands for the World Cup.
