i myself will follow ruud wherever he goes, to me he is a world class striker when he was at PSV, and at united, he has still got it in him, its a shame he had all those injuries last season, ferguson didnt help things......

he will settle in fairly quickly in my opinion, he might need some time and get used to the players around him, but overall i dont expect anything on the contrary, if they can keep him injury free.
