Ruud discusses Ferguson riftReal Madrid star Ruud van Nistelrooy has finally revealed the reason his relationship with former manager Sir Alex Ferguson went sour.
The former Manchester United favorite said: "It started at the Carling Cup final, after an hour we were 4-0 ahead,"
"I could not wait to get on as a substitute, to play half an hour and maybe score a goal and then go and lift the cup.
"It's a big trophy after all, but first Kieran Richardson was put on.
"After that Nemanja Vidic and Patrice Evra, and Evra had only been at the club a few weeks.
"I exploded and started swearing at Ferguson. That was the killing moment.
"It was both our faults but we never made up after that. The relationship fell apart."
He added: "I do consider it kind of tragic,"
"After all, Ferguson was the man who was there for me during my serious knee injury at PSV Eindhoven and even came to my sick bed.
"The way it all went down in the end does say something about the football world.
"But to me that does not permit you to treat people that way."
