Ruud van Nistelrooy

Of course I have the odd bad game like other players. But I can't accept that. Especially when things don't go right for United. It all means so much to me to be succesful here. It drives me crazy at times.

I let people say and write what they want.

Every day I work my guts out in training, every match I play my heart out.

The real big stars only keep this up for about seven years.

When we got knocked out against Porto in the Champions League, I only slept two hours that night. I was not a nice person to be with after that match. I was struggling to get the result out of my system.

Losing is not in my vocabulary.
