Together withChristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez he plays a vital role in forming a venomous attack which can baffle any defence .
4)Ruud van Nistelrooy
Rutgerus Johannes Martinius Ruud van Nistelrooy( born 1st Jul 1976, Oss, Holland ) nick named 'Van The Man' is undoubtedly the best goal scorer inside the box . The Dutchman struck 100 goals in his first three seasons in Manchester. He overtook United legend Denis Law’s title as the club's all-time top scorer in European competition in his fourth term, and by the end of his fifth year at Old Trafford he’d reached 150 goals in fewer than 200 starts.Ruud is a natural striker with phenomenal finishing. He has great instinct inside the penalty box. He is also a regular penalty taker. Ruud began his playing career with FC Den Bosch in the Dutch Second Division in the 1993/94 season. After four seasons in the lower Leagues, he was bought by top flight club Heerenveen in 1997, and went on to score 13 goals in 30 appearances in 1997/98. His strike rate caught the eye of PSV Eindhoven who swooped for the striker, signing
him on his 22nd birthday in 1998 for £4.2 million, a record between two Dutch clubs. After having scored 29 goals in 1999/2000, Ruud picked up a knee injury in a friendly against Silkeborg on 6 March 2000. The next month, a proposed move to Manchester United fell through because he could not complete a medical at United, causing the deal to be postponed. Ruud finally signed for Manchester United on 23rd April 2001, for a British record of £19 million .Now he plays for Real Madrid and has scored more than 30 goals in his first season for the Spanish club .
