The former United striker did not have the best preparation going into Germany 2006, it is fair to say.
A training-ground spat with Cristiano Ronaldo and a heated dispute with Ferguson resulted in the Holland hitman being sold to Real Madrid prior to the commencement of the tournament.
The former PSV Eindhoven endured a terrible time in Deutschland, relegated to the bench for the majority after falling out with Netherlands boss Marco van Basten.
Van Nistelrooy embarked on a self-imposed international exile after 2006, insisting he could not play for the Oranje while van Basten was coach.
But the 31-year-old has since relented, and is optimistic ahead of this month’s European Champions finals.
“I’ve never said I didn’t want to play for the national team,” he insisted. “Right now I’m far calmer than two years ago and that was because at United I was going through a s**t period.
“And at that time, with a big tournament, that was something I certainly didn’t need. I tried hard to reject everything but it only worked to a certain extent.
“Then on top of that I had a conflict with Dutch coach Marco van Basten. Now I feel a lot better and I believe in our success.”
sour grapes la
Now that you are out of Manchester United: Fuck you =)

jealous that RealM got beckham and Ruud?? Well, for me, soccer is ever-evolving and moving.Once the manager decides, it is all go and no point looking behind.
Ruud and Beckham may have been good for MU, but then we did not have them, and won both the EPL title and European title this season. Whose to argue with Fergie and what he brought to United?
Key, Ruud had a major knee injury. Only Fergie believed in him, and bought him over to United where he catapult his career.. So my point, stop biting the hand who fed you.

Yes, Real M got more than MU, I won't deny history.
Lastly, for goodness sake, stop being personal and using such language. It is just very degrading.
If you want to use such language, can you do it elsewhere?
After seeing where you going from, I won't even reply in future to you.
Can the moderators stop such things, please?
