Borned the same day as Kluivert, Ruud van Nistelrooy has all the characteristics of a goalscoring forward, he has power, strenght and velocity in his legs, an incredible powerful and accurate shot, as well as an incredible acceleration. He is Netherlands's new 'kid on the block'. The PSV striker improved the last two years so much, that he's now one of the 'orange' substitutes (behind Kluivert and Bergkamp). He was tempted by Juventus, SS Lazio, Manchester U, Valencia and AS Roma, but finally on April 20, 2000 Manchester Utd paid $28.45 Millions of Dollars for him and all his goals, days later everything was paused.
