Soccer: Ferguson pondering van Nistelrooy swoop
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has flown into Amsterdam to decide personally whether or not to launch a fresh bid for Dutch striker Ruud van Nistelrooy.
The Red Devils chief flew in on Sunday with assistant Steve McLaren to take a second look at the highly rated front-man before making a decision on a possible transfer move.
Ferguson will take in the clash between van Nistelrooy's PSV Eindhoven and Ajax to see whether the striker has returned to form from a knee injury which ruled him out of a move to Old Trafford earlier this season.
A Manchester United source told the Sunday People: "We understand Alex will be going to see the game, but has no plans to speak to Ruud or PSV.
"If any talks are planned they will be left to chief executive Peter Kenyon and finance director David Gill who usually conduct negotiations like that.
"At this stage the manager is making a final assessment as to whether to go ahead with a deal or not."
