Becks + Ruud reUnited?

Nothing exciting happened in the past week. Except I was feeling nauseous yesterday. And I have a new student coming next Saturday.

Although it hasn't been confirmed yet, Ruud is most probably heading to Real Madrid (he was actually spotted in Madrid, but how accurate that is, I'm not sure). Another one of my favourite players departs Old Trafford for the Bernabeu.

The only thing that makes me happy about Ruud's forced exit from MU is that he'll be Beckham's teammate again. Ruud will get the chance to score 30-40 goals per season again with the trademark brilliant passes from Becks.

David Beckham is keen to see his former Manchester United teammate Ruud van Nistelrooy join him at Real Madrid.

Becks told the News of the World: "Ruud is a great friend of mine. He's one of the nicest men you could ever come across. He's polite, has a great family and scores amazing goals - and when he's on a roll, no one can stop him.

"He is a true 25-goals-a-season striker who's proved what he can do on the world stage.

"You always want great players to play in the same team as you. We had a great relationship at Manchester United.

"I used to love playing with Ruud and setting up his goals."

Real coach Fabio Capello added: "Van Nistelrooy has triumphed in every team he has played.

"He has scored a massive amount of goals. And he is a striker who will now triumph for Real Madrid."
