Save Ruud van Nistelrooy

tribalfootball.com - May 29, 2006

Former Manchester United striker Dwight Yorke has supported Sir Alex Ferguson in his row with Ruud van Nistelrooy.

"Sir Alex only sees what is right for Manchester United," Yorke told BBC Radio Five. "If he sees Ruud as an asset to the club, he will stay.

"I don't see Ruud leaving, but if Alex thinks otherwise, that's how it is."

Yorke left United after being frozen out by Ferguson, who has reportedly fallen out with Van Nistelrooy.

"The manager is a winner, I respect him greatly. He sees things about people," added Yorke.

"It was no different for me, or Ruud and Jaap Stam. When he sees your time is up he only thinks about Manchester United and his players.

"If he sees what you can do and can't do. And if he feels that you are not doing the job he wants you to do then he will change it, it is as simple as that."
