Ruud van Nistelrooy enjoyed an outstanding five-season stint in the Premier League with Manchester United, where he won both the Premier League and FA Cup titles.
The legendary striker averaged 20 goals per season during his time at Manchester United and clinched the Premier League’s top scorer award with 25 goals in his second season, surpassing his previous tally by two goals.
