Van favours Madrid move
Ruud van Nistelrooy favours a move to Real Madrid, according to the player's agent.
Ruud van Nistelrooy`s agent has revealed the player has set his sights on a move to Real Madrid.The Dutchman is looking for a new club after asking to leave Manchester United earlier this week.
Van Nistelrooy decided to look for pastures new after falling out with Sir Alex Ferguson at the end of last season.
Ferguson revealed that Real, Bayern Munich and another mystery club were all interested in securing the striker's signature.
Van Nistelrooy's agent Roger Linse has confirmed the 30-year-old favours a move to Madrid above the other interested clubs.
"We met with Manchester United to tell them Ruud thought that stage of his career was over," Linse told Marca.
"We know that Madrid want him and the player is also keen to play there.
"Madrid is a dream for any footballer and also for Ruud."
Reports in Spain suggest Real's director of football Pedrag Mijatovic is in Manchester trying to thrash out a deal with United officials to take van Nistelrooy to El Santiago Bernabeu.
