Real Madrid to test Man Utd with £25M Van Nistelrooy bid

Real Madrid are set to test Manchester United's resolve with a £25 million offer for Ruud van Nistelrooy.

The Sun says the Dutchman, with one goal in his last six games, has fallen out with United manager Sir Alex Ferguson after being omitted for the league game at Fulham.

He expected more medals for his three seasons at United - and Real Madrid, realising they are unlikely to land Thierry Henry, see Van Nistelrooy as the perfect second choice to fire their front-line.
