reunion
Ruud van Nistelrooy would love to be joined at Real Madrid by
Cristiano Ronaldo next season.
The Manchester United winger has been the subject of intense
speculation about his future, with Spanish giants Barcelona and
Real both known admirers.
Real are reportedly lining up the Portuguese international as their
number one transfer target in the summer, clearly with Van
Nistelrooy's approval.
The Dutchman spent three seasons with Ronaldo at Old Trafford, but
has been most impressed by the former Sporting Lisbon man this
term.
However, Real striker Van Nistelrooy admits prising Ronaldo away
from United could prove to be a problem.
"He is a very good player despite being only 22 years old. The best
in the world," Van Nistelrooy told Spanish radio station Cadena
SER.
"Physically and technically he has learned a lot.
"For me it would be good if he came here. But it will be difficult
to get Manchester United to let him escape."
Van Nistelrooy added: "In training (at United) everything was good.
There was chemistry."
Ronaldo is currently in talks with The Red Devils about extending
his current contract, which expires in 2010, through 2012.

Well, it is always nice to bite the hand that fed you... Look at
Forlan. He was having a go too. No surprising to any
now..
