Ferguson: Van Nistelrooy exit was not bigManchester United tactician Sir Alex Ferguson thinks the decision to allow sell Ruud van Nistelrooy was ‘not a big decision’.
Sir Alex told the Daily Star: "Well, Roy was certainly a difficult one,"
"He has been such a big influence on the club.
"I'm not so sure about Van Nistelrooy. That was not such a big decision at all.
"You need a good team spirit in the dressing room and from day one this group seem to gel straight away. That was what I wanted.
"I kept referring to that through the season. The spirit was brilliant and that was important.
"We had to made big important decisions about how we change the team. That's not easy."
