Ruud van Nistelrooy has named his favourite former team-mate at Manchester United.
Despite playing alongside the likes of Ryan Giggs, David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo during his time in Manchester, the Dutchman has named Roy Keane as the best player he ever played with.

The appreciation was mutual, as Keane wrote some very kind things about a man who scored 150 goals in 249 appearances in his autobiography.
‘Ruud was the best finisher, ever, but especially in one on one situations, just the keeper to beat. When Ruud was going through one on one, I never doubted him,” Keane wrote.
‘Some players would be going, “******* hell – hard and low? Or dink it over?”, but when Ruud was through there might as well have been no goalkeeper.’
