#6 Rudd Van Nistelrooy
Dutchman Rudd Van Nistelrooy signed for Manchester United after being scouted by Sir Alex's son Darren Ferguson. Let's say that the record £19 million fee they splashed back then turned out to be an excellent piece of business.
Rudd Van Nistelrooy has been criticized for being a tap-in master but he was far too better than that. An eagle-eyed goal-poacher as everyone knows him, he was also a prolific dribbler of the ball endowed with a brilliant sense of positioning; the very attribute that helped him to be in the right place for the right time frequently.
Also, the flying Dutchman was an aerial threat owing to his tall stature.
He scored 0.68 goals per game for Manchester United which is an impressive stat. But unfortunately, Van Nistelrooy became one of those footballers to leave United after a rift with Sir Alex Ferguson. He left the club with a praiseworthy tally of 150 goals in 219 appearances.
