Ruud paid for reaction to final snub
Sir Alex Ferguson has cited Ruud van Nistelrooy's reaction to being dropped for last season's Carling Cup final as the major reason behind his Manchester United exit.
Van Nistelrooy joined Real Madrid in a 10.3million deal last week claiming his relationship with Ferguson had completely broken down. Despite scoring 150 goals in a five-year spell at Old Trafford, Van Nistelrooy found himself overlooked for the latter stages of last term after losing out to Louis Saha in the battle to face Wigan in the showpiece final at the Millennium Stadium.
Ferguson said: "The big difference with modern-day football is that now we have squads of players. It makes it difficult for a manager because every time you come to pick a team for a major game there are two or three players you are hesitant about telling they are out of the team either because they are great players, they have been great players in the past or you have a certain relationship with them."
