Ruud van Nistelrooy has declared he's ready to quit Manchester United.
Van Nistelrooy has told his agent Roger Linse to find him a new club following his fall-out with Red Devils boss Alex Ferguson.
The Dutch striker told the News of the World: "I've told Roger I'm not interested in rumours and speculation.
"All that stuff gets into my head and I can't play with rumours on my mind.
"So I've told him that when something is really happening, when I can sign something, when there's a contract to be discussed ? that's when I'll be interested and that's when I'll make my decision."
Van Nistelrooy is hoping the World Cup can put him in the shop window.
He added: "In Germany I want to show I can play football really well, that I'm not only a goal-scoring machine ? I'm much more than that.
"That's what the Dutch coach Marco van Basten says to me every day. It will be great to show the world I can play like that.
"In the past I always thought I needed to score to say I had a good game.
"But not any more. These days, playing well is what is important and not scoring is not so important."
