David Beckham is keen to see his former Manchester United teammate Ruud van Nistelrooy join him at Real Madrid.

Becks told the News of the World: "Ruud is a great friend of mine. He's one of the nicest men you could ever come across. He's polite, has a great family and scores amazing goals - and when he's on a roll, no one can stop him.
"He is a true 25-goals-a-season striker who's proved what he can do on the world stage.
"You always want great players to play in the same team as you. We had a great relationship at Manchester United.
"I used to love playing with Ruud and setting up his goals."
Real coach Fabio Capello added: "Van Nistelrooy has triumphed in every team he has played.
"He has scored a massive amount of goals. And he is a striker who will now triumph for Real Madrid."
