The now-PSV Eindhoven manager spent five glorious years at Manchester United between 2001 and 2006. During his time at the club, Van Nistelrooy scored a total of 150 goals and provided 25 assists in 219 games for the Red Devils.

Scholes has claimed that he shared a telepahtic relationship with the Dutchman on the pitch. The former England international has insisted that he knew what Van Nistelrooy wanted from him when he played in the number ten role. Scholes told The Overlap (via the Mirror): “I loved playing with Ruud. Because I knew what he wanted without speaking to him." "I just knew what he wanted. At that time I was playing No. 10 I wasn't playing in midfield. Football's all about having relationships with people. I don't think you see a lot of that these days.”

The now-PSV manager boasted an extraordinary goalscoring instinct and used to be an elite finisher. He was successful at every club he played for, including Real Madrid and PSV.
