Last weekend, the Dutch striker revealed that he was considering a return to the Santiago Bernabeu where he spent 4 years – scoring 64 goals in 96 appearances in the process. However, Ruud van Nistelrooy’s career at Real Madrid wasn’t free from frequent injury worries.
Wolfsburg seat on top of Manchester United due to a better goal difference. The German Bundesliga champions scored three goals past CSKA Moscow thanks to Grafite’s hat-trick. And despite conceding a goal, they edge Manchester United who could only win 1-0 away to Besiktas on the same night.
The last time Manchester United came up against a German side, they lost. That was during a pre-season match against Bayern Munich in the Audi Cup.
This fact will have little or no impact at all on Wednesday when Wolfsburg and Manchester United clash against each other.
