Holland star Ruud van Nistelrooy says his future at Manchester United doesn't concern him.
Van Nistelrooy’s preparation for the World Cup was jeopardised by his fall-out with boss Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United.
But anyone who thinks that will see him suffer does not know the determination of the man.
He aims to show up Ferguson’s folly and put his name alongside the Dutch masters of the past.
Van Nistelrooy said: “I am not thinking about what happened in Manchester.
“All my concentration is on what I can do with Holland.
“For us, the challenge is to emulate the two generations before us that were really successful.
“Cruyff and his team led the way in the 70s.
“Then Van Basten, Rijkaard, Koeman and Gullit were as fantastic in the late 80s and early 90s.
“Now it is our chance.”
