Quotes from Ruud van Nistelrooy

The country life near Manchester I really love.

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

Because of that I don't care when I read in the newspaper that I am colourblind. I went through a red light in my car and I stopped when I before a green light. So I must be really colourblind, eh?

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.

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.

As a private person I think I am now totally different from Ruud van Nistelrooy the footballer.
